Dont throw those rusty old irons away! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Don't have any old irons for ya, but I thought I would throw this idea your way. If you can gold plate, try gold plating quarters from various states. When I build fishing rods I sometime like to carve out about a 1/32 of an inch into the cork butt of the rod. I then inlay a quarter, cover with epoxy and make my own butt cap. It gives it a very "custom" look.

Most of my rods are Baylor themed, so I would like to have some gold Texas quarters. Green and Gold baby!
