The best, slow thorough explanation on the subject, and not assuming previous knowledge, like so many others. The way it should always be. Thanks.

A guide broke on a special rod my grandfather gave me, I’m going to repair using this method- thank you!

And thank you. I’m taking a class on learning how to make a fly rod. Your instructions and wooden jig seems so much better. I’d like to make the wooden jigs for here at home. Ty

Hello Matt, I appreciate your tutorial videos, I'm new at rod building building and decided to build a bamboo fly rod. Do you have a video on how to splne a bamboo fly rod? Good information is hard to find that's why I like and trust your knowledge. Thank you, Robert

Is a 16inch trout the limit on a bamboo flyrod and should u double or single wrap silk on the guides of a bamboo flyrod

@triumphrider9396 2 жыл бұрын

@@dariuswhite9138 Do you mean the largest fish the rod can handle? 🤔 If so, no. I’ve landed much larger fish on bamboo. Seems fragile because of its elegance, but it’s very hardy.

Hey what is the measurements for your wooden jig to hold the rod?

Can one purchase line guides already filed?

@glen4788 Жыл бұрын

Can you use monofilament or other fishing line to wrap rods? I see that most people use some kind of thread, not sure what type, but fishing line is much stronger. Will the epoxy melt or damage the monofilament?

@87_North 11 ай бұрын

Fuji Size A thread (ultra poly) is probably the best thread you can use. I wouldn't bother with mono; it's way too stiff. There's no need to use that when you can just use Fuji thread.

@glen4788 11 ай бұрын

@@87_North Thanks. I already used the poly as it was an old rod that I wanted to fix as a backup. It's funny because you cant see the line after putting the epoxy over it. I blends in. It appears as though they "melted" together, but I guess that just appears that way, not sure.

Is the thread you use special thread?

@matthewdraft4575 Жыл бұрын

Hi, good question. Rod building thread is made without the use of any silicone and is twisted in a way that reduces fuzzy tag ends. If you check out our site at : www.proofflyfishing.com you can learn more about rod wrapping nylon and silk.

No mention of finding spine and which side of spine the guides go on

@matthewdraft4575 Жыл бұрын

Hi, great question. I do address the spine in another video. For most rods that have more than 2 pieces there is really no good reason to worry too much about the spine. You might be able to find it in the tip, but in the sections below getting a proper bow in the section is just not possible with modern blanks consisting of four or more pieces. when it comes to which side to wrap the guides on I like to assemble the blank and rotate it to find the straightest axis. The guides are then wrapped on that side.
