Mudhole Rod Building

[3 Squids]

A while back I signed up for a fishing rod building class put on by Mudhole.com. Today was the class and I have to say I had a blast. If you find one of these classes coming to a town near you I highly recommend it. We even had guys in the class fly in to take it from other states. We got to build a basic rod on day one and tomorrow we go over custom thread wraps, inlays and refurbishing rods. That’s the part I’m most into as I have a bunch of nice older trolling rods that just need freshened up. The class was $200 and you get to take home approx. $100 worth of tools and materials including a turning table. I don’t think it’s something that can make me rich doing but I plan on building all my own custom rods specifically for my boat and to catch fish on them is just too cool. I can’t wait to get a reel on my 1st rod and I don’t care what I catch, it will be awesome.
