Building a few rods

So I have taken up building fishing rods. I'm on my 4th build and learning a ton! Been a blast to get started. Built a 5'6" ultra light that is a blast. Second was a 9' light action crappie rod for a friend. Third was a 7' medium heavy bass rod that turned out awesome. Number 4 is identical to 3 for a buddy. Learning new tricks on each build! Hoping to sell a few by end of the summer! Ice rods will be in the que later this summer as well.

Here is a few pics of some builds! I'm a die hard boilermaker so an IU themed rod with a Hoosiers sticker is certainly tough to build!

Very cool

I bet the guy using that IU rod sucks. Good looking rods!!

Good looking rods, Matt!

would be interested in the ice rods for sure!

Next build is a 5'6" ultra light. Probably will put this one for sale. Looking forward to building it!

Have you done enough to estimate your time involved? This is interesting!

I probably have 3-4 good hrs in a rod. Nothing fancy for wraps so far. Goal is to make functional, good looking rods to start as I learn. I'm having a blast and looking forward to selling a few. I have lots of interest so far from buddies!

They look great!

Finished this little rod up! Green wraps, cork handle, halide guides, ultra light. Asking $75.

Looking good
