@Taylor Lacey did you watch the video😂

@@samroberts6362 lol no. American... why?

You got me thinking Fernando. So I checked out a couple of my bought rods to see how they are spaced. Stiff 6.5ft rod for casting lures with a baitcaster reel. Spacing From the tip- 10cm, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15.5, 22.5, 38cm to reel. The eye closest to the reel is still quite small as it is intended for use with a baitcaster. Light flexible 7ft rod that I use with a spinning reel for bait fishing. Spacing From the tip - 9.5cm, 11, 13, 16.5, 20, 25, 30, 50cm to the front of the reel. The eye closes to the reel is about 2.5cm diameter as it is used with a spinning reel. These numbers look a tittle arbitrary however they seems to a logarithmic or hyperbolic progression going on. I think you need to get your blank, see how it bends, maybe trace it out out and then sketch some lines out to see how the line needs to run to keep a fairly natural bend in the rod.

Placement of guides is extremely important! With the reel for this rod mounted in the reel seat, hold the rod butt with a rod holder in a vice. Then pull the rod by the tip guide to distinguish where it curves, mark the blank where the bends are and you feel the guides should be. Now tape the guides (temporarily) on your marks and put the line through them. This will let you see how the line will flow. Attach a weight to load/tension the line/rod in an arc so you visualize how the guides are aligned. You want to keep the line as parallel to the rod as possible without large angled gaps. The larger the angle between guides causes more contact (friction) and could actually cause your rod to break, especially when high sticking or setting the hook. You can move (re-tape) the guides as necessary. More guides are needed on the rod where it bends most. The first stripper guide should be placed in such a way that the line as it rotates off the spool (when casting) is not too close (causing wind knots) or too far (causing line/rod slap). Also the stripper guide needs to be sized appropriately for the spool size, so as not to cause excessive resistance but still control the flow. The second and third guides also must calm the line rotation and placed accordingly to do so. (It would be most helpful to take a video of this in order to observe it closely.) The guides should not be just placed so they look good or evenly spaced, but actually where they are needed, only. You want as few as possible to keep weight down and the rod balanced. A fast action rod will need more guides closer together at the top where it bends most, versus a medium action rod where the guides would be spaced farther apart, but still keeping the line parallel along the arc. Fore grips and butt grips are also important as well and are a personal matter as how the rod will be utilized and can help to balance the rod with reel mounted so it is comfortable in use. Finding the strong spline or spine is also important and aligning the reel seat appropriately for spinning or casting rod accordingly. If a rod is assembled off spline it will not cast accurately and will twist (torque) when fighting a fish. It is especially realized with heavier rods, fighting large strong fish. This description is for spinning rods. Casting or conventional rods are a different ball game and guides need to be placed in order to prevent the line from contacting the blank under load, and still kept parallel as possible. Hopefully this helps and is comprehensible. I was taught by a master many years ago. Rod building is truly an art as well as a science. Almost all production rods are not built properly or correctly as it is just too time consuming and assemblers are not knowledgeable.

@Kris Lizana i dont think english is his first language

If you want a custom rod from a custom builder it will likely cost around $500 so if you are buying from a custom rod builder then yes, it will be cheaper. If you aren't looking for custom, a high end rod from st croix will likely be a bit cheaper. When building your own rod, you are generally looking at about $275-$300 if you are using quality materials.

@@simonchiacx7607 no theres no way its that cheap, they cant stay in business like that

@@CobraKiller02 what a coincidence, I was just using JB, one problem with that, it won't come apart again, thanks though

Fortnite master 123 you can buy them online

From al the types of artists there are, yours is one of the worst. Stubborn, prideful and with a sense of superiority. You could've just commented nothing, but you had to point out how this user's music taste really resonated wrongly with you. Honestly, I'm disappointed someone who seems to have lived so many years such as you still cares enough to do stuff like this.

Just turn down the volume, simple as that. You didn’t even have to comment about it just to seek some validation.

I don't need any validation. I've simply given you some feedback, an indication of what some viewers think. Sorry if I upset you.@@jema021

Yes but the sound is terrible ​@@jema021

You can get a kit from mud hole tackle

The electric motor that spins? I used a scour motor for bbq grilling they are cheap

Jan's Netcraft is a good starting point. You can buy a rod building kit there, or buy individual components

Outfitter Advisors thanks for the reply. I’ve been checking them out 👍🏼

True, but you can customize it to what you want and it’s cool to make your own stuff. I think the saving money part is making rods then selling your old ones

@@ryanwhittlinger6657 agree...money can't buy the pride of using your own creation. Tight lines and thanks for the videos!

Do you wanna watch a video with no sound I know I don’t

Quite a bit, think how much pride you would have in a pole you made yourself, now compare it to how much you would have to spend to feel the same pride.

@@seancoyote what if it broke the first time you used it. Would you feel useless. Does anyone know the answer to the man's question instead of the philosophical B.S.

Probably not that much. The cheapest blank I found was a 5' fiberglass blank at $18. Add about $5 for the rod guide, $5 for the epoxy, $2 for the guide thread and $10 for a reel seat. Now add the cost of purchasing a reel and fishing line. Not to mention the few hundred you need to buy the proper rod-building equipment (dryer and tools)...unless you plan to MacGyver the crap out of the tools and machinery you'll need.

Foxxitude few hundred? Nonsense. You can get a propane torch, a dryer for like 10 bucks on amazon, and a rotisserie motor for a grill for cheap at the hardware store. Your custom rod is probably going to be a lot higher quality than the cheapo crap combos you’re use to buying.

@@seabass22 My rods are just fine, thank you. I can spend my money on whichever equipment I please. So keep your panties on, you big ol' softie.

First you say "you just combine parts" Very next sentence. "You didn't do anything yourself"... You sir are a moron, who combined the parts? Same guy who did nothing himself.. Genius..
