Rod Building Classes
At this class, in which the typical student-to-instructor ratio is 2:1, you will learn how to select a rod blank that meets your fishing needs, and techniques to install the grip, reel seat, and guides. The Club will supply the materials that you need, including thread, epoxy, rod wrappers, and misc. materials.
You can build your own custom fly rod to your specifications (line weight, length, action, guides, trim, grip and reel seat).
The four sessions (usually Saturdays for 3 hours) cover:
- Specifying and ordering components
- Installing reel seat and grip
- Guide thread wrapping
- Epoxy guide wrapping
Costs:
- Class Fee: $15
- Rod Blank & Components: $100-$400 depending on the blank, reel seat and guides you select. You can build a very nice, high-performing rod for well under $200.
