What do you think? Can a googan build a rod? I'm looking for a 6'6" to 7' spinning rod to be used from a boat. I'll probably throw a Shimano 4500 on it. I want to throw 1 to 4 ounce plugs. Most will be in the 2 to 3 ounce range with an occasional 4 ounce 14 inch jointed pikie.
What do I need to build my first rod? Can someone throw together a materials list and make a recommendation that won't break the bank. This is my first, so we need to be gentle.:redbiggrin: Must be capable of bringing in the 50 I'm dreaming about.:a_dreaming:
Rick, Email on the way..................................
I'll walk you through it, and get you a huge discount on the materials.
from what I've seen as far as what a quick study you are, my answer would be an overwhellming, YES, you can!
:yourock:
That's all I need to give it a try. Send me the email, with what I need to order and where to order it from. I have a feeling this is going to be the first rod of many.
OK. This is the scoop. I just got off the phone with Gunny, and I'm building a Striper247 Gathering rod. Looks to be a a one piece 9 footer. Goal is to bring it to the Fort Getty gathering May 17. I hope rod building isn't as addictive as plug building......:a_goodjob:
BTW, finally made it down to test drive some plugs. Most worked great. The wind was blowing and I began to loose feeling in my fingers, but it was worth it. I finally dipped the plugs in salt water...:banana::banana:
I don't see why not . . . it is not really that difficult.
