The DM's on Instagram easily stretch back four years with Brad Eaton of Tippets and Tales. We had known each other online since the beginnings of T.F.M. but when Finn got serious about golf, and I started playing (poorly) myself, our obsessions very much meshed with both fly fishing and golf. Our DM's turned into meeting up the past two summers for golf trips around Michigan and a lot of chats on places where we could mix days on the water with a round or several of golf.
Brad is exceptionally good with his hands and builds fly rods, sews rod socks and cinch bags, makes metal or wood markers, wooden marker displays, and even built himself several choice wood putters. The guy is talented and last week added a Tippet and Tales Dry Goods page to his website which he will continue to add items to. My thought? Put that golf swinging trout on everything...
Have an idea for a project? Metal or wood markers for an upcoming buddies golf trip? Need a special display? Give Brad a shout through his contact page.
Check out the Tippets and Tales website, poke around the T&T Dry Goods page, and follow along with the latest shop news on Instagram.
