Rod Building

[apb]

Your first rod will be the most expensive as you'll need to pick up a rod wrapper (Cabelas has a cheap one that has worked well for me), thread, epoxy, and rod rotating drier (rotissory motor type deal, again Cabelas has a cheap one that works well).

I doubt I actually save money buy making my own rod, but I am able to set them up to my specs or build one a little different than what is commercially available.
