T.F.M. Spotting - Pretty In Pink

T.F.M. co-founder, Mike Carlson (also known as Mountainshark), has an unrepentant thing for pink and purple. He's been known to thread wrap fiberglass, graphite, and even bamboo (EEEEKKK!) in various shades of purple and pink.

I thought it would be a humorous to do a run of "Limited Edition" T.F.M. t-shirts in pink and pass them along to the Carlson family.


Sometime later Mike emailed a stack of photos showing the whole family donning the T.F.M. "uniform" while doing some rod work.


Pink is the new black...right?

Last fall Mike Carlson completed a build for Jeff Solderholm, who is a member on the Fiberglass Flyrodders website.


Jeff wanted a fly rod built for his daughter and of course Mike was happy to oblige with some pink and purple wraps.
