Rod Building
« on: February 25, 2007, 12:20:10 PM »
Well I finished my rod building class and brought home my first custom made rod yesterday.

Here are some pics of the butt wrap and a guide!!

Let the addiction kick in now!!!!

I think I'm going to make an 8' casting rod for early striper season in waders!!

rob, you just put a high build finish on top of those feathers on the rod you had pictures posted for?  The feathers take well to the finish?

That was my first rod ever built too.. I'm planning my next rod now.

You going to put two coats of flex lite on it?

Let me know how it comes out.
