Definitely like the longer format. It's good to see all the things that can go wrong and that they can be fixed. Should help beginning builders a lot. 👍

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Jim

[@johnkern5350]

Definitely like the longer format.. thank you for the tips and techniques.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks, John. New video coming out at 8am est. You're the first to know.. 😉

[@scottholland8357]

I have no preference short or long. I am learning from each video. It is nice to see when it all hits the fan and nothing goes right.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for the input Scott.

[@pauleyedwin6056]

Love the long format, could even be longer. Like seeing everything. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Pauley.

[@rainbosprinkles6548]

You and the channel have been a huge helping speeding up my progression in rod building. Long or short, all video lengths are good.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for your input.

[@MP_TROLL]

The moment the angle grinder came out, that’s when I subscribed 😂

[@fdxcustomrods]

Awesome, thanks RC Guy

[@nicholasmaiers4221]

[@fdxcustomrods]

Welcome aboard!

[@craigcampbell2687]

You are doing a great job helping me. Thank you for the details of the real experience and your instructional style. Have built 6 rods and spent many hours wrapping on wood dowels. Love your videos

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for watching Craig.

[@serhiinazarov8266]

Thank you very much for your teaching, this video is very useful as well as the rest of your channel. I'm going to try building my first spinig soon, but without your videos I wouldn't have dared, so thanks again!!!

[@fdxcustomrods]

Take your time it it will come out great. Good luck!

[@josephpope6268]

You looked like me building rods today LoL, Thanks for another great video.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Everyone has those days...

[@MrPaulstrivens]

First time viewing this channel, thinking about doing some rod building myself and having watched several youtube videos this has been the most useful so far

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for watching Paul.

[@LunkerFishing]

Captain Lee, we sometimes learn more from professionals like yourself showing us days that do not go well as we do from perfect days. Thanks for showing all the days you have.
I made it to the end. Too much information to loose otherwise.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for the input G

[@roydriggers2650]

Keep doing what you do !! Learning alot watching

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Roy!

[@davidsullivan27]

I have been building rods for more years than I can count. This did appear to be a bad for you, however, let me assure that I have had many days much worse. Been going through your page of videos and been wishing that I had had even half of your information when I started. I have learned so, so much from you. The length on videos is definitely A-OK with me. Can't thank you enough. I have three rods to build and know, without a doubt, they will be the best builds ever!

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thank you, David. I appreciate your kind words.

[@ReelTymeFishing]

I like the longer videos, seeing you handle the "Real Life", things that can go wrong situations in building, will definitely help me keep my own frustrations in check. love all your videos

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks William

[@nicholasmaiers4221]

Love the longer videos

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Nicholas

[@jildardoalvarez7440]

Longer videos, thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I’m new to this and haven’t done my first rod yet, but I have been putting all the parts together to start wrapping by hand. Hopefully starting soon.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for your input. And welcome to this crazy hobby.

[@waterdog711]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has bad days. Thank you for not editing it out! Now let's get on the spiral wrap. 👍

[@fdxcustomrods]

Going to start it tomorrow

[@waterdog711]

@@fdxcustomrods I can't go fishing until I am done this rod and I'm following along with you! lol Still ice in some lakes here, you/I have some time. lol

[@lookin4lunkerz575]

I found your channel right after getting my basic kit from Mudhole. To say I’ve been binge watching is an understatement. I prefer the longer videos just because I watch UA-cam more than TV, but either works just fine!

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks. I'm glad that you are enjoying the videos.

[@greggkenedy7299]

I enjoy your content, just starting

[@fdxcustomrods]

I'm glad you found us.

[@reeltime1]

Good video, as always. It's refreshing to see that I'm not alone when mishaps occur. lol. One thing, though, you really should wear some type of respirator when cutting or grinding carbon fiber. Thanks for the videos.

[@fdxcustomrods]

That's a good idea, I will.

[@davidcrump2348]

I enjoy the detail. Thanks

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for watching David!

[@clintkane5906]

Excellent video.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thank you very much Clint!

[@jaredgreen2524]

I’m learning a lot from you. Going to build my first rod tomorrow.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Awesome, thanks for watching Jared

[@marcusferro6134]

Great video

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Marcus

[@todddivelbliss4706]

Great vid keep up the good work

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Todd

[@mastersbaiters]

I don't mind the longer videos it's more in-depth I like when you show your mistakes and what happens to repair or what you have to do to repair

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for the input Stever

[@floydcaddy4411]

I like the long ones more details

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for the input, Floyd.

[@jamesrospopo3137]

The longer videos are fine.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks James

[@CullMeDave]

Yeah. longer video rather than a short one.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks David.

Terry Cook I like it

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Terry

[@stevejohnson7757]

Hello sir-Do you buy your NFC blanks from a different website than NFC composites?

[@fdxcustomrods]

No. NFC is the only place I buy them.

[@josephpope6268]

Ps the long videos are great learning tools.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks for watching

[@markknickerbocker5341]
