Re: Herranenspearguns fan club thread
I'll start off with what I have now. 110cm euro style, paduk core with canary sides. The handle is made with glow in the dark powder and is textured for better grip.
Next is a gun that Phil rebuilt for me and put his own personal touches on. It's a Riffe #0, refinished, and the handle is made from a Neptonics frame welded to a piece of pipe fitted to the stock. Next is the first gun that Phil ever made for me. 48" paduk midhandle. Phil mounted a reel to it for me, and I shit just about every species of fish in CenCal with this gun, except for WSB, which is why I had it built in the first place. Some one tell Eric Sabbe I want this gun back. It's the second one from the top... Last, the one I haven't seen yet. I sent the Wong in the picture above to Phil for a make over. Solid blue epoxy finish with a new Neptonics handle and Wong reel. Can't wait to see how it turns out! I absolutely love Phil's guns. Built exactly how you want them, and they just plain work. If you can dream it, Phil can probably build it and make it work.

Re: Herranenspearguns fan club thread
Here's my contribution to the Herranen fan club.
http://spearboard.com/showthread.php...98#post1627198 I feel lucky to call Phil a friend. He is always willing to explain and help out. And extremely generous (all those who were involved in the MLPA will remember the seemingly endless stream of donations from Phil). A great guy for our sport. |

The question then is...how do you make a mid-handle trigger without drilling into the stock for the pivot pin (no drilling because the stock has the tube going all the way back to the trigger). Answer: A slide trigger. Aesthetically, this trigger works with the rest of the stainless steel components of the gun. It works also with the blended East/West motif for the gun. And a great solution to the no-drilling issue. And Herranen-unique |

Re: Herranenspearguns fan club thread
Give me a couple of weeks. There will be plenty of stones to put in the gun. By the way, your ab/scallop iron has plenty of scratches now. It is an awesome tool.
