Thread: Rod Building

Under that ugly green paint is a beautiful chestnut brown Conolin blank and the handle is mounted on a section of one inch aluminum pipe. Yes, it's worth taking down all the way to get the experience.

glad I have a month then, for this project....I kinda liked that green, but like the old school beautiful chestnut brown look a lot better, and it just feels good in my hands....who knows once a fish is on the end how it might preform ....I will have a bunch of beef/deer jerky in tow this trip too
Thanks John a very generous offer
and education too

I forgot about the jerky. I'll pop a doe opening day of bow season and you can show me how to prep it.

be glad to.... does that start oct 15th for your county?

Thanks jigslinger ....I will watch these, so I at least have some kind of clue when doing that rod....still not sure why, I have to many others as it is.

All it is is putting hoops on a stick with thread. How pretty you want it depends on how much time your willing to invest into the construction of the rod.
