Ok My first bow fishing reel. 7.25 OD shoot through reel. It popped of my self made jig while turning the inside and split in 1/2. I glued it back and will use it for functionality. I decided to simply drill two holes for lacing it on and I think I'll use that method for smaller ones aslo as it should give a better fit.
the materials are willow, craft foam, and a broken music box spring. I will be keeping this one but will be improving my holding device for inside cleanup. I NEED some buck skin for handle wraps and other sundries. So I could make more of these in trade. I'm thinking to leave them rough sanded to 100grt for expediencies sake.
the willow is super light. I have many woods.
