Like professional golfers and major league hitters, avid fishermen are athletes. They understand that remaining at the top of their game means the rod must continue to be a seamless extension of their arm comfortable and fitting in every way while out putting maximum performance with the greatest level of efficiency. Fortunately, you can put that perfect rod in your hands by building it yourself. By selecting the exact components to the proportions and colors that you prefer the end result will be a rod designed and custom built specifically for you. I know I know. For those who have never done it, building a custom fishing rod sounds like it is more work than it is really worth. But those immersed

in the hobby will tell you that nothing could be further from the truth. With nothing more than a little bit of spare time, a work bench, a few affordable tools and a bit of patience, building your own custom rod is not that difficult. Plus, the rewards are twofold. Not only will you save a pocket full of cash building your own versus designing and purchasing from a custom rod maker, youll experience a greater level of satisfaction accomplishing your angling dreams with a rod you built yourself. Here are a few of the basics to get you started.

Selecting a blank that fits your application. There are a wide variety of blanks. Choose a blank based on the length you want, the line rating you will be using and the lure weight you will be throwing.

Choosing the handle length is a preference to each individual user. It is best to check some older rods you might have and see which length works best for you.

When selecting your guides, choose the correct inserts. If you will be using braid, it is best to use Nanolite, Alconite or SIC ring guides. For Mono you can use Halide or Hardloy ring guides along with the others listed.

The two most common sizes of threads are sizes A & D. A is best used for fly rods, freshwater and light saltwater rods. Size D is used for heavier rods such as stand-up, trolling, and bottom rods.

Step 1. Determining the Spine

The first and most important step in building a rod after selecting the proper blank is locating the spine. Think of it as if it were your backbone. You only want to bend in one direction, forward, well so does a rod blank. Every rod blank has a back bone (aka Spine); some are just more defined than others. On multi-piece rods, its important to locate the spine on all pieces. Start by placing a piece of masking tape around the middle of the rod blank. This is where you will be marking which side of the blank the spine is on. Support the rod near the top with an open palm so that the section of the rod blank is resting at a 30-degree angle. Using your other hand, apply downward pressure to the rod blank as you roll the blank along a smooth surface. You will notice that the blank

pops into a pronounced curve and it is difficult to role the blank out of that curve. You have just found the spine of the blank. Now mark the outside of that curve on the tape with a pen. Thats the spine. Of course, it is a good idea to repeat the process to ensure youve hit your mark. The rod always wants to bend in that direction because it has the most lifting power. This is how the rod should be built. If you are building a spinning rod, your guides will be located on the inside of the curve 180 to the spine and a casting rod on the outside of the curve on the spine. If you are building a multi-piece rod, you need to repeat this process for all sections.

Step 2. Building the Handle

Cork InstallationThis is the portion of the rod that

you can customize the most. Begin by reaming the inside diameter of the rear cork grip to fit the blank. The best way to accomplish this is with a razor wand or Extreme Reamer. Be careful not to ream out too much. Ideally, the cork should fit snuggly over the blank. Once you achieve a snug inside diameter, apply epoxy glue to the rod blank and slide the grip down the blank and into position you need to leave a half inch of blank exposed to install the butt cap.

EVA Foam InstallationA. Slide the grip down the blank to the

binding point, where the grip first meets resistance and must stretch to proceed further down. Mark the blank about 8 10 above the grip began to bind. This is where you will apply epoxy glue.

B. Mix up the epoxy glue and apply the glue from the mark you made all the way to the butt of the blank. The glue will also act as a lubricant.

C. Slide the grip down over the glue and push the grip down into position. It is best to stand the blank on the floor and stand over the blank and push down. This requires some effort. Push the grip down until there is only of blank still exposed. The butt cap will mount there. Clean up excess glue off of the blank. 91% Rubbing alcohol works best.

Butt Cap InstallationMost likely, the butt cap you will be using will have a larger ID than the blank has OD.

If this is the case, use the masking tape and wrap the tape around the blank, building an arbor. Make the arbor large enough for the butt cap to slide over it with little pressure. Using the same glue, apply to the inside of the butt cap. Slide the butt cap over your arbor, rotating the butt cap 360.

Step 3. Mounting Reel SeatReel seats always have larger IDs than the blank they will be installed on. To get the

reel seat to fit the blank, you will build arbors. The arbor serves one purpose and that is to center the reel seat over the blank while the glue sets up. Arbors can be made using masking tape, dry wall mesh tape or by purchasing premade graphite arbors. For these instructions we will be using masking tape. Begin by wrapping the masking tape around the blank. Start about away from the rear grip. Wrap the tape until the reel seat slides over the arbor snug. Install another arbor about back from the front of the reel seat. Then finally install a third in the middle. Now, using the same glue apply the glue over the arbors, making sure to encapsulate the tape arbors. Then apply glue between the arbors. Remember the tape is only there to center the reel seat while the glue sets up. We want to make sure the glue adheres to the blank and the reel seat. Now slide the reel seat over the arbors and at the same time turn the reel seat 360. This will help make sure the glue makes full contact with your blank. Make sure to line up your reel seat hoods with the spine mark you made earlier.

Step 4. Foregrip & Winding Check Installation

Repeat Step 2 for installation of Foregrip.

Winding CheckApply a small amount of glue just in front of your foregrip, now slide your winding

check down over the blank flush against your blank. (the Winding Check is a small ring of rubber, metal, or plastic that goes on the front end of the foregrip. It hides rough edges from the fitting process and adds a finished appearance).

Support the rod near the top with an open palm so that the section of rod blank is resting at a 30-degree angle.

Begin by reaming the inside diameter of the rear cork grip to fit the blank.

Slide the grip down the blank to the binding point, where the grip first meets resistance

Begin by wrapping the masking tape around the blank. Start about away from the rear grip.

Apply the glue over the arbors, making sure to encapsulate the tape arbors.

ROD BUILDING 101 : THE BASICS



Step 5. Tip Top InstallationCut a small piece of tip top adhesive and slide it into the tube of the tip top. Now

holding the tip top with a pair of pliers use a lighter and heat the entire tip top, this will melt the glue on the inside. Slide the tip top over the blank and at the same time turn the tip top 360 to make sure you have good adhesion.

Step 6. Guide Preparation

We need to file down the feet of the guides so our thread smoothly transitions from the blank to the guide. Use a small file and work the end of the guide foot so that it comes to a point. Afterwards, take a piece of light sand paper and buff the underside of the guide feet. This helps remove bits or burs in the metal that could scratch the blank and cause catastrophic rod failure.

Step 7. Guide Wrapping Step-by-StepPlace the first guide in the proper position on the rod blank. Remember if youre

building a spinning rod, the guides will be mounted on the blank 180 from the spine, a casting rod the guides will be mounted in-line with the spine. Manufactures typically supply guide placement for particular blanks. You can also refer to page 14 in this catalog for a guide placement chart. Tape the forward foot of the first guide in place. [If a single foot guide] wrap a small piece of tape about center of the foot of the guide leaving exposed the front portion of the foot to wrap thread onto. Advanced rod build-ers often thread a base color which the guide sits on called an under wrap.

Starting (this distance is prefer-ence) from the guide, begin wrapping. Youll be wrapping from left to right. To get started, wrap once around the blank. Be very careful here and place your finger on the blank where the two threads meet and slowly rotate the rod while simultaneously crossing the running thread over the tag end. In essence, you are cross-stitching an X pattern which locks the thread in place.

After approximately eight wraps, stop and trim the remaining length of the tag end off as close to the wraps as possi-ble. Continue wrapping while constantly monitoring that each wrap is tightly seated next to the previous wrap.

Be careful when making the transition from rod blank to guide foot. This is where it is easy to make the mistake of allowing the threads to sit on top of each other rather than next to each other.

When you get about 1/8 from the end, take a small piece of thread and fold it over into a simple loop. Slide the loop under the running thread (the loop goes in the same direction you are wrapping), making sure its tight to your wrap. Complete your wrap over the loop, about eight to ten times.

With one finger on the top of the wrap, use your other hand to cut the running thread from the spool. Grab the tag end you just created and slip it through the loop.

Gently pull the loop back through the wraps until both the loop and the tag end of your thread come through.

Take a razor blade and lay it flat on your wraps right next to where the tag end comes out from under your wraps. Take the tag end and pull towards the razor blade, cutting the tag end flush to your wraps. Do not use your razor blade as a saw; this could possible damage your wraps. Repeat the process for both feet of each guide, making sure that each guide is aligned and spaced properly.

Step 8. Aligning GuidesThe best way to align the guides is with your eye. Sight down the rod and adjust the guides left or right to line up with your reel seat and tip top.

Use a small file and work the end of the guide foot so that it comes to a point.

Rotate the rod while simultaneously crossing the running thread over the tag end.

Step 9. Applying FinishNow that all of the guides have been wrapped and are in place, it is time to epoxy. Make sure

to thoroughly mix the epoxy according to the manufactures exact specifications. Most blends are 50/50 and if you are not extremely accurate, the epoxy will never dry. With your rod in a rod dryer turning about 6 to 15 times per minute, use a disposable brush and lightly apply epoxy to the threads. Ideally, the epoxy should run no more than one quarter inch past each wrap and onto the blank. This is to prevent moisture from seeping under the wraps and rusting the guide feet. Once you have applied epoxy to all of the wraps, use the heat from an alcohol burner and run it under the wraps to eliminate any bubbles. Do not apply flame directly to the finish as too much heat at one time can have detrimental effects like loosening the epoxy and causing it to sag.

Use a disposable brush and lightly apply epoxy to the threads.

The epoxy should run no more than one quarter inch past each wrap and onto the blank.

Determining the type and size of guides for your rod building project can be confusing if you do not understand some of the basics. Mud Hole has assembled the following information to help you in the process.

Rod GuidesAs technology has evolved so have the rod guides. Rod guides come in many shapes and in a variety of materials. The quality of a guide depends on the composition of both the guide frame and the ring (insert). Guides are measured by the OD of the ring (insert) in millimeters.

Fly Rod Wire GuidesWire guides are available in both tradi-tional double foot, commonly known as snake guides and single foot styles. These guides also come in a variety of finishes. Wire guide sizes generally include 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1/0 and 2/0 with 6 being the largest.

Single Fly Rod Guides with InsertsThese single foot guides can be used in place of wire guides. As with stripping guides, the quality of single foot fly rod guides depends on the composition of both the guide frame and the insert ring. Single foot fly rod guides are generally available in sizes 10, 8, 7, 6, and 5.5. These sizes give the diameter of the guide ring in millimeters.

Tip-TopsInsert Ring/Loop SizingThe first measurement in a Tip-Top is the Inside Diameter (OD) of the ring (eyelet) in millimeters. Generally, the ID of the ring will match the smallest guide on the rod. Standard sizes are 6, 8 and 10mm for conventional rods, while heavier saltwater rods may go as high as a 16mm ring.

Tube SizingThe second measurement in a Tip-Top is the Inside Diameter (I.D.) of the tube, measured in 1/64ths of an inch. The tube size should correspond to the tip size given by the manufacturer of your blank. Tube sizes generally range from 3.5 to 12, but they go all the way up to 32 (.500") in Big Game roller tops.

Insert RingsSizes shown are approximate and vary depending upon manufacturer. Sizes are measured in millimeters. On guides with insert rings, the measurement is taken from the outside diameter of the insert ring. On wire guides, the size measurement is taken from the Inside Diameter of the loop.

Actual size: Size Numbers assigned to guide by early wire guide manufacturers

Morton Guide Locating Chart By Don Morton This guide has been designed to aid you in the proper placement of Micro & Concept Guide's. It utilizes the angle to the tangent of the blank curve to achieve this. Unlike other guide placement tools, this will take into consideration the action of your blank to properly place guides in the range that your blank flexes the most and requires more support. While this tool was designed for placement of Micros and Concept type guides it distributes the guides on virtually any blank to achieve higher performance and greater protection.

The blue intersecting lines are used for placement of Micro guides. The red intersecting lines are used for placement of Concept guides.
