Fishing+Rod+Building
Does anyone know some web sites that can show me how to make my own custom fishing rod building equipment?

I would like to get in touch with someone who builds and repairs fishing rods. The equipment is so overpriced and appears to be something I could easily make myself with a little help from a pro or knowledgable hobbyist. My old glass Fenwick 9' Steelhead Rod is in the shop getting the eyes rewound and I don't like leaving my favorite rod with someone I don't know.

If you're just replacing a few guides, or even just wrapping an entire rod now and then, you don't need anything more than the thread, guides, and coating. It's tedious, but you can wrap a rod just turning it by hand in your lap. When I was a kid I made probably a dozen rods that way. Of course, it took a few days, but the rods turned out fine and caught me lots of fish, from trout to tuna. I still use an ultralight spinning rod I wrapped back in the early 1980's. (I'm on about my fifth reel on it.)

The power rod wrapper lets you wrap a rod in a couple of hours or less, but wrapping speed is the only advantage. You still have to carefully position the guides with tape, wrap the thread tightly, no gaps or overlaps, put in the loop and pull the tag end under at the end of the wrap, and so on.

But then using a drying motor to slowly rotate the rod as the epoxy hardens sure beats turning it by hand a quarter turn every five minutes for a couple of hours.
