Mbirdsley Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 So as a bday present to my self I picked up Step by step rod building put out by flex coat. I’ve been wanting to build a rod for like 5 years. After reading this manual/book it dosent look so intimidating ( I don’t know why I didn’t want buy it sooner). I am thinking a winter project for a start date. Is there any other reading material or you tube videos I should watch? I know about mudhole, Janns etc.. I’m not looking to start business or do this for a living. Maybe build a rod every once in a while if it goes good. I think a worming rod would be nice to have. Quote
grub_man Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Tom Kirkman's Rod Building Guide is another short but great read. Get Bit Outdoors had a pretty good little video series. I think Bill Batson at Batson Enterprises did a small series of videos a few years back, but I'm not too sure where to dig them up these days. His finishing technique video(s) was very good. Building is not terribly complicated, and is a great hobby! You'll find yourself hooked, pun intended, very quickly. Quote
