Amazing Value and Experience

What a great value class where they walk you through the rod building process, build a great rod, and then send you home with most of the tools to build your next rod. Building a 3 piece travel rod now

Would highly recommend

Really cool to build your own rod and most of the tools you get to take home with you. Instructors were knowledgeable and patient. There were also enough instructors that you don’t have to wait long if you have questions or need help. I think this would be a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys fishing. I am excited to make my daughter’s first fishing pole instead of purchasing one.
