thanks, how dose the trigger work on it?

[Jims71duster]

Its a three way kinda trigger, a one inch key ring slides over the second eye on the rod (which you have to bend a bit so the ring catchs it barely). A fish nibbles pulling the tip a little, the line kinda pushes the eylet from the ring and the tension on the spring pulls the ring away. If you look at the second photo you can see that you can adjust the rod tension by moving the eyelet with the key ring up or down and you can adjust the spring tension two ways. this should allow you to adjust to any type of bite

Thanks for sharing Jim, I was hoping to build something like this for myself too, now I have an idea. (for once) :lol:

for those who pm'ed me for a better pic, hope this helps and I used some maple for the wood that I had left over from capping some stairs but hockey sticks would work great too
