rod building
Rod building is the process of customizing or manufacturing fishing rods by assembling individual components—such as guides, grips, and the blank (main shaft)—to create a rod tailored to specific fishing needs. It involves selecting the right materials, precise placement of guides for optimal line flow, and applying adhesives and wraps to secure components. This craftsmanship allows anglers to design rods that match their fishing style, species targeted, and personal preferences, resulting in a functional, durable, and personalized tool that enhances the fishing experience.
