Want to build your own custom fishing rod?
I’m doing a small-group, 2-day rod building workshop at the Prolite shop.
You’ll come in and actually build your own rod with me.
Before the workshop, we’ll figure out what you want to build and pick out the blank, grips, reel seat, guides, colors and components. Then over the two days I’ll walk you through the same process I use building Prolite rods every day.
We’ll cover the whole build, guide layout, wrapping, epoxy, decals, finishing, and a lot of the little things that make a rod come out right.
I keep these groups small so I can actually work with everyone and answer questions as we go.
$250 for both days, plus whatever blank and components you choose for your rod.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to build rods, this is probably the best way I know how to teach it.
Fish with a rod you built yourself.
Next week, September 17 & 18
