WAVE ARMY Very beautiful rod.

Tea is code

Put together a size 100 baitcaster setup. a bass rod, basically. tuns out one handed bass rods don't translate to pike rods, because pike are 4x bigger and takes are so savage, they pull the buttstock out of my armpit. Upsidaisy, I need a BUTT EXTENTION!

Just completed my first 1/2 dragon with purple metallic and black/silver accent wraps on both edges. Your video made it super straight forward and it turned out awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!

I’m a minimalist but this is so good I’m going to add one to my jig rod. Thank you for this video

Can you make the blanks yourself? I don't think it's that difficult? The only question is how do you get the carbon off the steel blank?

Great video! I just picked up a 7ft rainshadow ultra light blank for building a BFS rod. I was a little concerned that it was a bit too whippy and was a bit nervous about trimming the tip down a little. I think I'm going to give it a go! Thanks for the confidence boost!

Very good tip for putting on decals. I've always used the Indian ink writing method but never used decals. Bit worried about them lifting with epoxy. The ones I have were bought from Guides and blanks ( came with the Harrison blank) so hopefully they'll not lift. Also putting on a flag. Hopefully again it will stay in place.🤞

Where can I buy this cables rack?It’s different from ALPS parts.

sounds like glue for the shoes

My second build, mentioned below, turned out far better than I expected, and I attribute that to your video, my Brother. Thank you! I've returned for a third build, and you mentioned placing a logo in the flat of this half-dragon. It's just what I have planned. Do you have a video for just such a process? I truly want to get this one just right. Again, many thanks for your expert guidance!

Love the tea break after a successful build!

I’m new to rod building and this video just opened my eyes to a whole new world

Brilliant work looks awesome

Hello, love your videos very informative. I was given a few bare blank rods and wanted to paint them correctly. I've seen a few videos on line but haven't found anything that I trust would be correct. Do you have any videos on painting bare blank rods or recommend a method and types of paint to use.

What an awesome build! Who from the WAVE ARMY won this rod ?

Just watched this, great video 👌🏼 TEA ....time now

Took all of two videos for me to subscribe :) Great videos!

Hi bro, are you going to give away that rod anytime soon?

And what reel is that?

What blank are you using?

Can it handle huge fish?

Congratulations bro! It has been a long time waiting but you finally reach 10K views on this video! Hope to see who wins the rod soon! WAVE ARMY!

WAVE ARMY 👍 Nice rod building! And a nice style of video, relaxed and informative.

Can a clean snapped blank on a spiral rod be repaired?

Does doing a wrap like that change the action of the rod? Does it stiffen up that section of the rod?

At what speed do you apply the coat?

Wave Army. Super cool build!! I definitely stole some nice ideas from this video :)

WAVE ARMY, after a local shop closed,I thought I'd try it myself. I'm so glad I found your videos first, easy to follow for a newbie 👍 Many thanks

Wave Army Very good looking rod.

OMG That is the coolest rod absolute piece of art!!! Wave Army!!!!

I cant believe thats Drywall Tape... who do u suggest buying Rod Blanks from?

Is this give away still going? 9.8k views😊. I will love to win my first custom rod WAVE ARMY

Why do my threads all darken and the color is gone? The pros say not to use clolor protect as it keeps epoxy from soaking in. The threads burr up as sson as epoxy is applied. But now they have shrink wrap for guides. Any advice ? thanks!

Wave Army

Welp, i cant find or buy a fishing rod blank. Do i have to make my own or is there a way to use something commercially available as a fishing rod blank?

Can you epoxy over the calligraphy writing?

Good stuff!

Cool

Why has this rod building series ended?

Tea

I hope i never snap my rod.shes a vintage fiberglass peice they stopped making in the early 80s

I need to cast a .25 mm line with a .4mm leader from a shimmano 6000 reel with and reaching about 150m please send some advise

This was a timely video. I just finished wrapping a 9ft 3wt fly rod. Next up: epoxy. Many thanks for all the tips.

Great video! TEA
