RODBUILDING PART 4; GRIP AND REEL SEAT Some people use preformed grips, we make them ourselves. The grip is the most intimate part between the rod and your hand, that's why we like to decide the length and shape ourselves. However preformed shapes can be a good alternative. RODBUILDING PART 3; SPINING There are a lot of opinions about spining blanks. Some say there's no need for spining, others just tune the sections to get the blank as straight as possible, but we think spining is absolutely necessary, I'll try to explain why. RODBUILDING PART 2; NECCESITIES Now you decided to build your own fly-rod and have chosen a blank you like it's time to determine which components you like to use. Just like selecting a blank it's not a piece of cake at all. RODBUILDING PART 1; SELECTING What’s the reason one should build his own rods, the tackle shops are loaded with beautiful factory-build rods aren’t they? Definitely true and besides that it spares a lot of bungling when buying a ready-made rod. Saving in expenses might be a reason, but we think there are more reasons and more important; opportunities!
