Dude I love this Channel, and Im sure I watched you gamble on tv professionally. Im stoked you are a Pro Bass Fisherman. Just a really cool well done channel, thanks a million.
Some great info.. always been curious about building rods
The lighter the rod the more sensitive it's gonna be. The energy travels through the blank better. Great info.
No doubt
Can’t wait to see the boat.
My oldest boy wants to make his own rod, thanks for the great video I am subscribing so we can keep up with your work.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Kyle. Great stuff! If you ever decided to do giveaways, these rods would be hot items, sorta like a tennis player giving his racquets to fan, something people would love as a keepsake.
Great your building your own rods 363 👍 you cant beat that 👊
Thats what's up man..getting ready to put in work!
Great job on building those rods! I am about to start building rods myself and I live in Alabama. Love to pull in some big spots on Lake Jordan and Martin. Hope my rods turn out as well as yours. I will be retiring from the military, but still pretty young so I want something to help keep me busy. Best of luck to you and hope you whoop some tail in the tournaments you fish. Keep charging forward and keep up the good work! Love the style of rods that you built also.
Only way to go when you know what you want. About to get started on my XRAY blanks I got half off!
Name looks good on that Ranger. Impressive Rods man.......good luck this year ......make it happen
Great video!once you build your own your hooked/never buy another off the shelf rod.Really enjoyed this god bless.

Half ounce drill bit haha you a true fisherman buddy
Video is top notch keep up the good work who know one day you will have your own little shop right in the open area,build a 20ft shed & your in business ma boy...good luck
Badass man!!
I love the rods what kind of blank are you using ? It'd be great to get the number and wait thanks
Super light, cork grips . . thumbs way up! Cooking show . . lol Great vid!
Fishing Apopka today. Launching right now magnolia park
@@KyleWelcher damn just saw . . . been KILLIN em there, wish I'd seen your message woulda directed ya right to em. SMH
I can tell where your mind is..you said “1/2oz drill bit” lol good luck this year bro!
Great video!! What point blank blanks do you like best for 1/2 ounce jigs?
Nice work. I've heard a lot of guys say that mixing your epoxy on foil gets you some extra working time.
You ever try a Winn grip? I have a Winn split grip alps reel seat point blank mh 703 that I'm about to wrap this week . First point blank rod and first time using Winn grips
Great video! What was the brand of blank and where do I order these to get started? Thanks for the help!
Hi Kyle, new subscriber here so I apologize if you already did this. In your information section you say that Point Blank is on of your favorite equipment to use. I have been considering getting into rod building and was wondering if you could do a video on why you chose Point Blank. I was looking at using the St Croix SCV modulus as I've been happy with their rods, but if there is something that stands out with Point Blank that makes them a better choice I would love to hear about it and the process you went through in choosing a manufacturer. Thanks for a great video.
I'll give you some old man advice if you will take it.
Use whatever you feel like if the two Port liquid works best for you then use it. Have a good day and keep up the good work
Love building my own rods....i keep mine stupid simple as well!! Let us know how the hold up!!
Sick!
One of these rods will pull in a 10lb bass in FL I'm betting LOL. Glad I got to see that monster up on stage with you today.
Well you were right lmao
Great video! Hey Kyle what is a ballpark figure you have in each rod you built? Not counting the equipment to build just blank , cork , reel seat and guides!
The blank is around $180, the cork grips and reel seat is going to be around $20-30, the guides depending on which ones you use. But the most cost effective decent Fuji guides are the K guides in Alconites, you need about 11 guides+the Tiptop it will cost you around $30-40. If you go with Titanium guides it will cost you $90-100.
Thanks for posting this. After building a dropshot rod on the Point Blank, can you give a recommendation? I'm looking at the PB701MLF and the PB691MLXF. Can either of these handle regular sized jerkbaits? I do more casting than vertical dropshotting. Thanks!
I really wanted to buy a $200 rod just to see how good it was. I wrapped one for $150ish and its great. much rather wrap my own. there's a good spacing tool from acid rods.
Hey I really like the video!!! Where do you buy the blanks to build the rod's???
Have you had a brush start coming apart on you yet? The way you are applying the wrapping epoxy you will most likely pull the hairs out of the brush. Other than that you are really producing product so way to go. You can get a cleaner cut in the thread if you hold more tension on it, it will pull the cut end under the overwraps. At this point you probably have built a hundred rods or more and you are perfecting it. Those Point Blank blanks are really good for bass casting rods. Good luck and keep up the work.
How are the actions on the rods. Looking for something that is stout backbone but softer tip for A Rigs and 4.8 and 5.8 keitechs using 1/2 and 3/4 oz swimbait jig heads. Any recommendations?
awesome video man ! i would like to get into this as well. could you tell me the blanks you used ? looking for something super light with awesome sensitivity. (comparable to NRX)
Point blank rod blanks are what I was using. They bare very very light and so far sensitivity seems amazing
Love the info and the step by step , some rod companies are making longer than I like butts any recommendation for cutting the blank to shorten the butt length, high speed dremel ?
Hey man, great job! Where did you buy those "empty rod's?" I would like to try make one for me and I can share results with you 🍻 👍🏻
Bagus sekali untuk edukasi bagi yang ingin memulai belajar...
Did u finally get rid of all your old Ducketts are sell them off but awesome very informative video
Nice
Where did you get your blanks at? I’m lookin into makin rods and to get the best bang for my buck.
Where do you get your rod blanks, parts, and building supplies
Good to know!
Great video man! Rods look great! How do they balance tho being so light? Are they tip heavy or do you fix that at the butt?
Appreciate all of the videos Kyle. I was wondering if you could tell me exactly which reel seats, handles and caps you are using? I am actually going to build some rods myself and I notice how you build everything extra light so I'm having a difficult time figuring out exactly which Reel Seats are they lightest and I was hoping you could enlighten me. Thanks in advance.
I use the Fuji SK2 reel seat but I get the metal good instead of graphite. Metal hood is about a tenth of an ounce lighter. The cork I am using goes with the SK2 reel seat and it's the smallest one for it
Can’t freaking wait! What does it cost to build those rods?
Hey man what brand blanks do you use? I fish with the Highschool bass nation and I am Thinking about getting into rod building.
What guides do you use on your casting rods? and also what rod dryers do you have? ! want to try and make a rod myself.
Fuji titanium SIC Slim or Titanium torzite. I got the batson rod dryer. Got it for like 35$
Half Oz drill bit gotta get one of those lmao
Have you any input on finding the spine?
Hey man how much does it cost roughly per rod with guides and everything? Thanks your awesome to watch! Learn a lot.
The blank is around $180, the cork grips and reel seat is going to be around $20-30, the guides depending on which ones you use. But the most cost effective decent Fuji guides are the K guides in Alconites, you need about 11 guides+the Tiptop it will cost you around $30-40. If you go with Titanium guides it will cost you $90-100. Also all the equipment you'll need as well, it's definitely pricey!
Where did you get your soft plastic storage bags with zipper?
i was getting ready to order parts for a build, how do ya know if the cork handle will fit into the real seat ? are they all standard sizing?
The cork I use is from Fuji and says it is for the reel seat I am using. I'm not sure about the rest
Built or assembled? I'm looking to build one from scratch.
How much would u charge for something like one of those cork ones?
Is an SK2 blank related to a K2 blank? What would you compare these 7’3 rods you made to in the production industry
There is no comparison between my rods and any brand. Maybe they are close to am NRX but they are lighter. The SK2 is the split grip reel seat
What guides are you using?
What guides do you use
Looking good awesome like always what blanks you using ?
Point blank
I’m late as all get out but just found the channel but u can tell your mind was on fishing brow win u start using a 1/2 oz drill bit instead of a 1/2” inch bit LMAO but can’t say anything I build GO DEVIL motors every day for GO DEVIL up in Baton Rouge LA the long tails and SD but I manly build the new FNR motor we have so I now how it is main one is win someone instead of use a 12 mm it’s use a 12 ga socket to take something off keep up the good work
What blanks are you using to build your rods, I might have missed that and if anyone else caught that feel free to chime in.
Point blanks and Fuji rod components
How much did it cost just to build one? If I buy a rod from you can you sign it?
Where did you buy your rod blanks from?
Great job do you make rods for people
Man I want a custom KW rod
How much does it cost to put one together?
Haha I’ll use this half ounce drill bit 😂 tell your a angler
Any discounts on point blank rod blanks .
Any of your old Shimano reels for sale??
Do you use the 73MHXF or the 73HXF for flipping 1oz TX rigs?
761 hvy fast
Hey Kyle, I just found your channel and glad I did. If you can let me know where you get your blanks and materials. I’m retired now and wanna build myself a couple of rods to start out and I’ve been looking at NorthForkComposites out of Washington State and owned by Gary Loomis. I really would appreciate any direction you could give me on materials. Best of Success this 2020 Season 🍀🎣🔨💯
I'm using Fuji components and point blank rod blanks. Northforks are great and I have a few but point blanks are the way to go if you want a faster and lighter rod. Northfork trends more moderate
That’s great info and I appreciate your reply. I watched your other videos, and I used to live in Memphis , you’ve gotta new fan .👍🔨🍀🔨
Pls tell me what I need to make rods
God bos👍👍👍
Love video if you can do a more in-depth that would be nice
I'll do that. Figured it would bore people
Not at all...I was bummed it was so short....very cool. Im subbed...
Cool video, is there anything you can’t do when it comes to fishing? I called it on the wrap and walk through, you just didn’t acknowledge it. 👮♀️
What is your crankbait rod?
Those rods are awesome are you using micro or standard line guide's
I'm using #4 guides on flouro rods and #5 on braid rods. #4s are micros
Do you think later on you might build and sell rods
@@georgebramblett6078 I might build some if there is a demand. Definitely not looking to start a business
Could you build a fiberglass blank catfish rod in a video that would be super cool if you catfish
Your rods look awesome by the way
Where did you get the blanks from?
Point blank blanks from anglers resource. They are sold at most big fishing component stores
What do you charge to build a rod? Do you have a website or Facebook page?
