Man those are nice when I wrap mine I donÂ’t want to post it now will definitely fail in comparison lol good looking wrapping

there's no failing here. Just go for it!

First rod my dad wrapped was a fenwick trout rod that was fished out of Lake Cachuma (who knows how long it was down there) and he rebuilt it with sewing thread and proceed to catch a 12lb pacific bonito on it when we were pier fishing one day round about 1980. Rod looked like junk, but he loved it and it worked so well. I'll see if I can get a pic of it, as I may still have it in my "sentimental gear" collection!

As long as it caught fish don’t matter lol sometimes the ugly ones are the good ones lol

I was thinking of making a ultralight trout rod.

My advise is to go for it

ThatÂ’s sweet and exciting to see I just got my crb base station in and have to adapt my alphs chuck to it and set up the motor and then I can attempt to build some rods

Prepare....it gets addicting real quick lol.  I got a drop shot rod and a surface iron rod getting gripped up this weekend so I have something to work on during the week.




And, by all means, throw some pics of rods you built or stuff you're working on.

That’s awesome and gives me hope lol I’ve been sitting on all the rod wrapping parts and collecting threads for a couple months just waiting on the power wrapper base to show up this Thursday nervous and excited to wrap my own rods

Opinions are all over the board but the general consensus is ugly stick tiger lite 7' if you have a tight budget, are afraid of flipping your yak and losing it or are utilitarian and will settle for anything tjat "works".

If you have a mid range budget and intend on doing this a while, prefer a more sensitive rod with enough backbone to fight fish, want a lighter jigging set-up, or just like better equipment that will last.....the consensus is shimano trevala.

Theres hundreds of other sticks out there  based on your budget and intended purpose....or if you like to go against the grain.  I really like my seeker inshores and recently started wrapping my own rods based on phenix blanks and i really like them as well.

I have fished my whole life and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon lol. Thanks I have used a similar to the ugly stick mentioned and it wasn’t bad and I have a firm mid range budget most likely going with a penn reel have on on my 10 footer and love it. Guess it off the the sports shops to go play with reels this weekend [emoji869]
