Starting in June/July I'll be quite the homebody for a good number of months and I plan to occupy my time building rods. Problem is that I don't need nor can I afford to be building many rods for myself. Here is where you all come in. I've built about 10 rods to this point and would like to get around 25 before I start really charging for it.
I'm going to take 5 requests at a time and then open it back up to more once they are complete. I'll take you through the process just as if you were paying me the customary $150 to build it only without the payment. Once we pick a rod, be it a heaver, plugger, fly etc I'll work with you to price out the guides, seats, grips etc and all you will have to do it pay for the parts. A tip is appreciated but not required, it will go in my Fusion fund for next spring, already have the guides and grip...just need that $300 blank.
So hopefully 3 lots of 5 builds are coming and the first is now open. Send a PM and I'll update this thread with how many are available or taken etc. I'm going to be able to pick and choose which I do, it's free afterall. So for now one per person unless I can't get any takers
. You'll need some patience but hopefully not too much...
As of now I build FISHING rods, no fancy butt wraps but I'll get there eventually and am not above trying it out if you are so inclined. Decals, decorative threads the basics, but above all else durable fishing rods that should last just about forever. Mine have been catching just fine this spring and hopefully will for the next couple weeks.
There are 4 remaining for this run, I look forward to the experience. Thanks in advance.
