Blank Choice- There is a variety of blanks that you can choose depending on what you are fishing for. The best choice is to read up online about what blank is best for your use, or just to stop by a local tackle shop and ask the clerk.
Finding the spine- Place one end of the blank on the floor and the other end in your hand and roll the rod until it jumps. The place where the blank wants to bend to is the side to wrap the guides on if your wrapping a conventional rod, a spinning rod would be the opposite
Create a fishing rod with oscillating guides, to do this you must offset the first three guides.
The rods created in the video must all be different.
One rod will have cork, and the other rod will have a foam handle.
The butt wraps on the rods will be different from each other.
The video must be finished by May 15.
The video that I film must be clear and easy to understand. It must include every part of making a fishing rod from the handle to the finish. At least one section in the video must be dedicated to showing how to make a rod with oscillating guides. There must be no gaps or interruptions in the video. The video must be longer then fifteen minutes. Two rods will be constructed in the video, for the most part the rods will be the same, but they will have opposite styles of building. Points of building a fishing rod that will be covered are:
-Blank choice, finding the spine
-Butt caps
-Rear handles
-Split grip
-Reel seat
-Front handle
-Butt wrap
-guide wraps/guide spacing
