Win a Smallstream Fly Rod
Gentlemen. Normally I don't get involved with advertising competitions (maybe I’d enter and keep it quiet in order to up my chances!) but this, I feel, is a worthy one. I figured some of you small stream fanatics might like to dabble in the chance of winning a custom built rod while supporting a young sportsman...
Friend, fly fisherman and rod builder Mario Geldenhuys’ son, Logan, has been invited to attend the upcoming 3rd Biannual Worldwide Tang Soo Do Family International Championship in Rotterdam, Netherlands in October this year. Now, I don’t know much about the martial arts but I do know about the importance of a youngster being exposed to a high level of competition and believe it would not only be great to see this lad competing overseas but for him meet other children from all over the world – you just don’t get that in a classroom!
So to help fund Logan’s trip to the Netherlands – as we know, it’s not cheap to travel these days – Mario is running two concurrent competitions. One involving his exceptional craftsmanship and the other his knowledge of the Rhodes area and his skills as a trout guide.
The first comp has a custom built Blue Halo 7’6″ 3/4 weight Fibre Glass Fly Rod up for grabs. A small stream wonder of a rod. Plus the rod will come with a custom painted rod tube that sports custom etched tube caps, your name custom painted on the tube, and comes wrapped in a custom rod bag with your name embroided on it!
Along with the rod, the winner will also receive a handmade curved Japanese landing net – see the photo of a yellowfish one. The net has a soft mesh bag, custom turned rare-earth magnet clip, and will also have your name etched onto the throat of the net.
