Welcome to the Wraptor News Page 2. Wraptor has been getting E-mail questions regarding our rods and Fish Me bait. We decided to add this page to let our company
and customers show what they do.
Well, it has been an exciting year for us and it's getting even better. We have had products in Canada for about 2 years now and our first photo contest entry has arrived. It's from Jennifer Douglas who purchased one of our rods for a Christmas gift. Thanks again Jennifer and good luck.
Thanks Oregon Tackle for your support of Wraptor Custom Rods. You can contact Doug Hays at www.oregontackle.com for any information you made need on their great products. We would also like to thank Mr. Hays for his expert advice, and in giving my son a small rainbow spinner. The result was 23 trout which he landed on his new trout rod. Oregon Tackle - thanks for your great products.
It was an honor that Wraptor was asked to build some rods for the Oregon Tuna Classic this year. We decided on a 7ft, 20 to 40
with titanium guides and gold zurchronium inserts,with a black and gold Alps reel seat. Also these rods will qualify for the Wraptor photo contest, good luck to the Tuna Classic winners and we look forward to your future pictures.For more about the Tuna Classic contact Mark Lindquist at mark-lindquist@hotmail.com
As we went fishing for the opening day of trout, Jacob and I had just hooked several small trout when the Washington County Deputy pulled up and asked how we were doing. The general banter about the fishing took place, but to my surprise this picture was taken and this e-mail was sent to me from NW Bill.
Special thanks to Coho Charters and Motel for their order of a BMB961e (pictured in pink) and the future business of refurbishing their rods. Look for Coho Charters in Ilwaco Washington. They are the oldest charter in the state. Ask for Butch and he will get your spot for the 2009 season.
As you know, I have been wanting to make my own rod components. Well, here is our first spinning reel seats. We are making them from woods all over the globe, such as Myrtle wood from Tasmania, maple birds eye and many others. You can now even pick out your own blank to have it carved from.
Wraptor would like to say thank you to Larry from Looney Lures for his order of four rods. Larry is also going to be doing some testing of our new reel seats. Larry is a custom lure designer. Here is a couple of his Kwik Fish. To contact Larry, E-mail me and I will get you the information. Thanks again Larry.
We have been working on gift rods for some companies, such as Floor Factor, and the Columbia River Fire Dept. Wraptor has become an Heirloom for retirees as they leave their place of work. Wraptor has stood up against the challenge of making a gift that will say thanks for all your years of hard work. We have done three RainDancer Loomis fly rods for Columbia River (two shown here). We are glad to be there for those who have standed the test of time, like our rods will...
Wraptor goes to Joe's Salmon Lodge and Hakai Pass in British Columbia, Wraptor took xsa114, 15 to 30, and bxcf1022h, 12 to 25. Amazingly, I caught this 38 lb halibut on a silver Fish Me bait and my xsa 15 to 30 while we were waiting for a tide change in the pass. We just stopped to fish inside the pass on the way back from Spider Island for bottom fish and was lucky enough to hook this halibut that Pat Matthews gaffed for me. The fishing was a little slow but the time we spent there was worth it. Thanks Joes. Here are the rest of the highlights.
