Hey gals and guys, I am working on a short outline (about eight to ten hours) basic rod building class for our TRB. I need some suggestions on topics to be covered and better topics to be left off of such a format..........I thought with this sort of format we could get some exposure for TRB with giving it to High School Students or fishing clubs that would want it.......Thanks again......(Gosh I need a spell checker on this)
Hi BJ. A couple of simple but important items I would think need to be addressed in any rod building class would be how to properly prepare the blank surface prior to gluing up components and proper guide feet prep prior to wrapping.One more thought... Since all the components for a complete build can be purchased, I would stay away from any instructions, due to time constraints, on the building of custom grips, seat, inlays and the such. I'm not sure I would spend any time on custom wrapping. In other words, I would probably stay with the sound basics of selecting and installing the proper components.
Look forward to seeing you again, and thanks for your time!
