That is beautiful! Great design. With salmon/steelhead season opening up I can see a real market for that here in the great northwest.

The customer ( I hope ) requested a non-slip handle and I could not bring myself to do the standard black rubber or molded plastic . So I came up with the thought of the wrap over neoprene .
Thanks for all the nice comments and taking the time to look
