This sounds like a wonderful project, Jacob. Good luck with it. When I built a rod (which is fun, challenging and very rewarding) it was as part of a class so I'm very impressed by your doing it on your own. Good for you!

Thanks, Michael. But I won’t be doing it alone. I hope to draw support from you and the other readers who’ve been down this road before.

I’ll be counting on hearing from you when I start laying out guide wrap colors!

Looking forward to the journey(s)! I had a glass travel rod made custom by JP Ross with a small savings bond inheritance from my grandma some years back. 2-piece 3wt. It’s a peach.

And I hear you about the classic bronco or blazer. Maybe if my book sells 🤣

Turned the reel seat last night from some amazing figured maple. It’s gonna be sick. Stay tuned!
