It was awesome

Such a great experience. The instructors were very knowledgeable, passionate, patient, and very helpful. I want to take the next class soon. I brought home the knowledge and taught my 14yo son how to do it. Definitely recommend doing it.

Excellent custom rod building class

All of the staff members were extremely helpful and very professional. We had a great learning experience with everyone. My husband and I would highly recommend this class to anyone who fishes or even for making someone a gift. We had an awesome time!

Best Birthday Gift!

My wife took me to this class as a birthday gift and it was a great experience! The lessons were easy to understand and the teachers that were in the class made sure I understood everything and that I was doing the correct job to assure I was building it correctly. Great experience and we ended up fishing the next day with some great rods! Thank y'all for the experience!
