Thread & other sponsors is proud to announce the inaugural "PicToWeave

The aim of the competition is to encourage rod builders to try their hand at
weaving.

Contestants must register their entries on the PicToWeave web forum.
To ensure that the emphasis is placed on individual performance, contestants
must complete one of several pre-made patterns and post their finished weave
on the PicToWeave web forum for judging by a panel of judges including
representatives of the sponsors and other rod building identities.

posted themselves, or had photos of their weaves posted on rod building, or
other fishing related web sites)
