MTfishingrods Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Very nice KB. I like Feather inlays. Fun to do and really dress up a rod. Your handles are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbkindle Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hey kb. Did you install those on new rod blanks or remove old grip ? Also how do you get the taper inside handle? those really look sweet;) i do both on old rods or i do blanks i dont put any taper on the handles about every inch on rod blank i put some masking tape on rod and fill the spaces in between with rod bond resin kb just put enough tape to make it tight to sides of wood handle. i know that's not a very good way to explain but its the best i know kb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 It's funny that my tackle habbit (addiction) started with building fishing rods.The newest craze is makking handles from 8# foam.As soon as i recover from shoulder surgery I am going fishing ,then to my hideout to make a rod and some sawdust:yeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
