Daryk Campbell Sr Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Went down after work. Caught on my homeade flyrod, and flies I tied. grizwilson, Terrierman, kjackson and 10 others 13 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

jdmidwest Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Now you have went and done it, I have not made my own rod yet. I had a custom St Croix Spin Rod made up by a friend of mine. He placed a size 32 wet fly in the rod epoxy near the grip. It was an ultralite and I broke the tip off and retired it to the closet of old friends. Started a Fly Rod project that I bought at flea market that someone else started, never got anywhere with it, think its in the same closet. Much like the desire to build an RC plane, cast my own jigs and bullets for muzzleloader, and crafting my own beers. Even tried to taxidermy a drake mallard with 3 curls that I killed one season, that kit still sits and the bird long freezer burnt and gone. But I could do a rod. I have an old Herters rod wrapper and some thread. My epoxy is probably dried out. If I only had more time.

It is really just a piece of fiberglass rod from an electrical wire routing kit. I used a mini lathe to taper it down. The guides are eye pins from the sewing section. UV resin. The handle which proves to be much too short is 3 pieces of craft cork turned in the lathe to resemble a handle.
