My Profile:
www.mattstefanfishing.com/
I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

Love this type of content. I’m a tinkerer so this was especially cool to me. The on the water tips and rod making/bait modification are my favorite.

I used to build and sell rods as a pre-teen/teen, many, many years ago. My uncle taught me how to wrap by replacing a guide on one of my rods during a fishing trip, using monofilament fishing line. I was hooked. I didn't know anything about equipment. I was able to get all of the materials I needed between Cabela's and a couple of local shops. Internet hadn't been invented yet. Stainless guides were most common. Carbide was considered best. There were no ceramic guides yet or graphite rods. Thread, varnish and color preserver were from Gudebrod. Blanks were typically Fenwick with Featherweight handles. My fingers were the only rod turner I knew. For the thread, I used a long dowel and used my sock feet to keep tension. I still have all of my old rods that I build for myself and a few that I build for my dad and a couple of other relatives that have passed. I also have a casting rod from about 20 years ago that I never finished and I'm itching for a new flyrod. Trust me, if I finish that rod and build my new flyrod, I won't be doing it the way I did when I was a kid.

Really good one. I built. my first rod over 40 years ago from a fiberglass Cabela's blank, some salvaged parts from a broken rod, sewing thread, and spar varnish. You are absolutely right; it is addictive. I now have almost as many rods as my wife has shoes.

Awesome video, Matt!! You encourage me every time I watch the rod building videos. Hopefully soon I'll take the on-line class from Mud Hole and enjoy building my own rod and helping out others as well. Stay Safe & God Bless!!

This is something I’ve been wanting to get into for awhile. I build all my arrows for archery (and for friends like you said) time to get into rod building. Great video thanks for the info

When I ordered my first Mud Hole rod kit, I bought the equipment package and got a nice discount. Now I'm hooked. Love building rods! Thanks Matt for stoking the fire. Go slay em at the Potomac!

@terribleatfishing

Cool video thanks Matt this is going to be my hobby in the winter

@fylaserengraving3531

Thanks for all the information.

@grncreek

If your not in a hurry another cheap source for power rod turners is aliexpress. I picked up one with forward/reverse and a foot control for 30. Loomis/shamano wanted to charge 15 plus shipping to replace an eye. So for less than half the cost to send the rod off I got a turner, resin, and thread. Ill have to try building a complete rod at some point.

I just got into rod building over the last month and I have watched all of your rod building series videos multiple times. You have some of the best tutorial videos out there. One question tho, how do people two tone with different color thread and make it look so clean? I've attempted it a few times and can not seem to make it look right.
