Basic Rod Building Workshop

Build Your Own Custom Fishing Rod – And Take It Home!

Ready to roll up your sleeves and create something you’ll actually use on the water? Join us for a hands-on rod-building workshop where you’ll craft your very own 6.5-foot medium-action spinning rod—and yes, you get to keep it when you're done!

No experience? No problem! We provide all the tools and materials you’ll need, and our skilled instructors will walk you through each step of the process.

You’ll learn how to:

Identify the rod spine for optimal performance

Prepare handles and guides for installation

Space and align guides correctly

Wrap guides like a pro

Apply epoxy for a durable, professional finish

Important Info:

All materials and equipment provided—just show up ready to learn

Epoxy takes 8 hours to cure, so rods will be available for pick-up the next business day

Due to high demand, this class is limited to once every 36 months per participant

Spots are limited, so don’t miss your chance to walk away with a custom rod you built yourself. Perfect for anglers who want a deeper connection to their gear—or just love a good DIY challenge!
