  • In this video, the Catching Zzz's crew takes you through the entire fishing rod building process. How difficult is it to make a custom rod from a rod blank? Watch this video to learn learn the answer and learn some tips and tricks that I have learned from my mistakes. In this video I go through how to fit custom handles and reel seats to your rod blank before going through the basic process of wrapping on the rod guides. Learn how to easily design and implement trim colors to add some style to both your rod guides and hook keepers. We also go through through the process of finishing the rod with epoxy and applying a custom decal.

    You’ve made me want to try doing my own. I’ve watched others, but I still had many questions. This filled in the gaps. Thank you!

    Nice setup! I am tossing around building my first bass rod. If you don't mind me asking how much was the investment for all of the tools and parts for the rod? Thank you, you gave me confidence!! the gold adds a bit of contrast, very good work!! keep them coming!!

      Thanks for the comment! The initial startup is a bit pricey I will admit. I spent around 240-260 for all the equipment, tools, blank, handles, rod guides, and epoxy etc. to build my first rod. However, I am working on a higher end rob blank currently and I can say I am seeing bigger savings since I already have most of the equipment/tools to finish my second rod. I think in the long run you will save money and it’s really cool to be able to build any rod the way you want. I’d definitely encourage you to build your own, and best of luck in doing so. Let me know how it comes out!

    The top of your guide should line up at your mark on the rod

      Is that the mudhole cbr hand wrapper? Can you put extensions on that one to move your thread carriage?

    Great video man, where did you purchase all of your products you need?

    • @catchingzzzsoutdoors1872
      @catchingzzzsoutdoors1872  2 роки тому +1

      For my first build I got everything through mudhole.com or getbitoutdoors.com. However Ud recommend finding a builder that is a supplier, that way eliminates any “guessing” for sizing of components
