Aggie_Angler Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I was wondering if there is any information/instructions on how to build rods with some of the new features, such as no foregrip and split butt cork handles, etc... Or which available rod building book is the best. Granted, I have no experience in building rods, but I'm interested in getting started.

BBC Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Get Tom Kirkman's rod building book (Rod Building Guide). It is a great place to start. Then go to rodbuilding.org (Tom's website/forum). He also publishes a magazine (RodMaker magazine) that has some good stuff in it (and you can get backisssues as well). Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Kirkman's book is easily the most up to date book available. Probably the best as far as good info goes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodtrader Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Just google "rodbuilding" or "custom fishing rods" as you can find out just about anything you need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
