Green Hornet
« on: Jan 18, 2010, 12:31 AM »
The Green Hornet has caught more fish....  Any one have any patterns for the Green Hornet?  I have wanted to make one for a few years now, just don't know where to start.  If it catches fish like Goldman says it does, I need one in my arsenal.

The latest issue of "Fly Tyers" magazine has an article w/recipe & photos of the Green Hornet.  I'm at work now & will give you more details later today.  I got my mag at "Tops"

I drew up my own plans, cut it out of 3/4 pine, paint then clear coat. I added a reel too. Not completely accurate I know but it works good.
 There are a million of them on e-bay too If you are looking to buy one.

It took numerous trys and a lot of digital grabs from the movie, including scaling up from the size of Max's hand, but this looks like as close as it comes.  And before anybody asks, I don't make them for anybody.  :)
I made 3, 1 for me, my daughter and one for my dad, but by the time I do all the work, it would cost a lot to build them.
I have used this to land a ton of Perch on Chautauqua.  My Dad loves his.  The rod tip on mine is wood, however on my daughter's and Dad's I did use fiberglass.   THey get a ton of comments everytime somebody sees them.  The ones on ebay look weird, and some have the line wrap on the bottom, not a real green hornet!
Hope this helps.

Very nice work!

Thanks, I made a bunch of prototypes before I got ones I liked.  A bandsaw and time...and good poplar wood.
Mine and my dad's do have the correct white collar.  Details details details!

That thing is awesome! Well done. If you don't mind telling, is there something attached to the eye to guide the line? I can't quite tell from your pic.

Thanks

I wish I had the talent and the tools to be able to do that. I bought one off of ebay and it looks great. I bought it to hang in my shack. My luck would be the same and I would loose it down the hole. :tipup:

RE: Guide
Just left of the pic is the first guide.  I have three guides to tip (end of an old casting rod).  Never had a problem with tangles.  Made one (looks like a Loon) out of Cherry, its a bit heavy.

silvercreeker, would consider tracing an outline of the green hornet and sending it out. My son and I watch that movie on the ice every year during our first outing and he would love one of these. Yours is the the best looking one i've seen! Thank-you!

Don't want to be a "thread robber" but has anyone ever seen a hat for Chucks Bait Shop?  I've always wanted one and can't find one.

You said the rod tip is wood on yours.  What kind of wood did you use?  Thanks!

I have been wanting to build one of these for a long time.  I may never use it, but I love the movie so much, I just have to have one.

My fishing buddy got one from an in-law for Christmas a few years ago. He takes it out with us, but has not used it yet! I think he is afraid of the awesome power of the Green Hornet! ;D

The wood rod tip is actually an old bamboo fly rod tip that was broke...
As for patterns, just print the picture and resize it to the ruler in the second pic, and there is a pattern.  Should work perfect.

I think I'll just order fiberglass blanks from Jann's or from Mud Hole.  Or, I have a few broken rods downstairs.  That would work.

Looked like a first gen Fish Trap, with white canvas.  Loved the wood sled.

Well I guess I can try it that way. The ruler picture is kind of deceiving is it 12 or 13 inches long?

I already drew mine up on graph paper.  I went down the middle at 12 1/2".

Picked these up off of eBay last fall.  The guy quit making them and I got in just under the deadline.  Haven't used 'em yet, but I swear I will before the season is out.

Thanks one and all.  What a great bunch of replies.  That is awesome silvercreeker.  I will have to cut paste and such and use it as a pattern.  May I?
