Bob Norwood

So many have responded, some I know but many I don't. I hope that sometine I get the chance to meet those of you I have not yet had the good fortune of knowing. my name is Bob Norwood I live near Knoxville Tennessee, but am really a displaces yank from Massachusette. I have fished most of my life mainly for Bass even though I live here near the Smokies I still prefure Bass. Got into Bamboo after breaking two very nice Aopgee graphite rods by sitting on them, both at the same time. After crying a little, I decided that there must be some better material. I bought Garrisons book and with it in one hand and my tools in the othere I started out. Now after many rods build and a design program developed. I am so thankfull that I sat on the rods, they couldn't hold a candle to the grass and the great enjoyment I get when I design and build one. I would like to thank the many folks who have helped me along the way, a more giving group I could not ask for. Thank you all again.

Bob
