Stumpy21 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi all. I'm new to the site and can't get over all the info on here. I am wanting to learn how to build my own rods and was wondering what books or sources of information do you recommend? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Stumpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 rodbuilding.org Tom Kirkman's book Dale Clemens book Rod Maker magazine Take a class at Cabela's Look for a locally held class Get on Google and search I researched for over a year before I built my first rod. By they time I started building I had seen several methods for the same tasks. Gotten some good info from experienced builders. Built a good work bench, drying box and wrapper.

Stumpy21 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks for all the info guys. I'm going to start researching this and will give a try. Not doing it for the money, just thought I would enjoy building my own rods and fishing with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 FYI to everyone... Dale Clemens just put out a new edition of his book. It is dated April of 2008 but is shipping from Barnes & Noble already. Mine should arrive on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
