With so many excellent videos on the internet including those by Mud Hole I was questioning if I NEEDED a class or not but I am so glad I did! Jesus was great as an instructor and the quality of the materials provided were excellent. I loved the atmosphere of the class and the opportunity to be able to ask a living person questions while learning to do something that is actually more complicated then the internet videos will lead you to believe. Take the class! Just do it!
Phenomenal class with outstanding instructors! They answered all my questions and took the time to explain. They were even able to give more one on one time to myself and fellow students than expected. Cannot wait to get a few rods under my belt and take the advanced class.
Thank you, George K Lake City, Fl
What an awesome way to spend a weekend. Jesus, Todd, Cindy, Kyle, and Dangle were all amazing! You can tell they have a passion for not only rod building but also teaching. They were patient and there for every step of the way. I really appreciated them each having their own way of doing things and picking up tips and tricks from them all was super helpful! If you’re on the fence about it, I say go for it! I left feeling inspired to continue building on my own and the customer service staff is there for you as well!
I’m a little confused by this email. How can I comment on something that I have not yet done. You say you have fulfilled my order and I have yet to receive any info on times of classes. Order #390970 is for Oviedo Fla. on Jan. 11-12. Please advise on this. Thank You……..Butch
The pictures that are attached are from the class I took in April of 2024 i Houston and I'm going back to the class in April 2025 Covington Louisiana.
