Where do you get the CPX from because I cannot find it on the net.

Great idea to wrap in front of the guide ring for added security. I am building a 3wt fly rod (1st build for me) and I was wondering about how secure those small guides would be. This helps a lot!!

This rod it is from another planet with top components you put on it !

Thank you sir. It’s very hard to pick these patterns up as a beginner. I greatly appreciate the time spent explaining the whole process.

Any updates?

I was hoping you could clarify how long after the first coat you put the label on? I recently bought a printer from Larry at LRT group and in the tricks and tips thing it says let it fully cure. Is that ok to do even though you're applying a second coat? I thought the second coat had to be within 24 hours but maybe I'm just being to "by the book" in my head. Thank you for these videos, I really appreciate it! Your work is awesome and the videos are great and very helpful!

This system really defeats the ease and purpose of carbon. Needs to come with poly arbors. So much weight in tape and paste.

Im lucky to live only 70 mins away.

Your stripper guide looks kinda small. What size was it? The CRB kits come with a 30 but how do you know when to use it or to start with a smaller 25?

Thanks for teaching me.

Nice Videos, love it!! I would build a MB 7109-1 (X-RAY LMX) as a swimbait rod and i dont know if i should build it with a spiral guide or a regular guide system, what would you do? Its a 7'10ft 2oz rod

Your videos are super helpful. What size thread/s are you using for each?

I was wondering if you did a build with this style of grip. Very nice job. Very easy to follow.

You seriously hit all I've ordered or setting up but spinning vs cast 😅 ready set out of stock ATM for the size I want thank you for confirming what I thought as usual you nail it brother!

Can you provide a link to the Alps seat/handle ?? Thanks!!!

I have been wondering about those grips, definitely will have to build with one.

I need to add one of them to my build list

Really appreciate your content. I totally agree that the SJ703 is a great inshore saltwater blank. Great kayak rod when trimmed down to 6'6" and I even use it while wading sight casting redfish in shallow water. I actually like it trimmed down to 6'6" better than at 7'. Try it if you have a client who fishes primarily out of a kayak or sight fishes reds up close.

Is that high or low build epoxy?

This music is obnoxious

Your videos are awesome, sir. You always take your tike and explain whatever you are doing, and the reasoning behind it. I enjoy all of your videos. Any books for someone that has never made a rid before to read that you would recommend?

Sir I am about to purchase a power wrapper and you hit the key points that I had questions about the Amps and the RBS G2. My first rod I want to build is a 7'6 or 8 foot. It is an old Femwick Pacific Stik Royal model number 1270 s. Would you know a rod company that sells blanks that like this rod or close. Love the flex in this rod.? I just don't like the idea about 7 feet. Also possibly the blank is honey comb color. What color guide thread came with this rod. Trying to get it it as close to the real thing as I can. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I called Fenwick and they don't make any salt water rods anymore they said. And didn't have any information on this rod. Thank you sir.

Get to the point, you can't even explain properly. Its impossible to follow the video. You don't even specify what type of tool you use where can u purchase them. You are all over the place

Time waster

After a year with this blank, how is it holding up? I have 2 on order and would like to know your thoughts after using it.

We balance with the reel attached. What are your thoughts?

Good stuff man. I want to build my own jig/jigging rap rod. Spinning, river big walleye in current. Whats your picks for best blanks. like 7'3" range ish. Got to handle big fish.

Beautiful work, hope I can achieve that one day. Weird question but, can marble or any thing with colors be done at the TIP of the rod? Any techniques application suggestions to research? Even though that may sound weird, I've always wanted a rod with a florescent or bright white or even a glow color at the tip to see it better in low light conditions, to stand-out. Don't know why rod manufacturers don't take this into account?

I appreciate all the videos, ALOT I was already going to try! After watching you for days now.. Thinking I had unique ideas 🤦🏻‍♂️ you' hit everything I did and planning and started- NFC (wish i had seen videos first would have ordered a few other blank than i ordered. alot of the same grips, reqoil guides (glad I didn't get that noise with braid), styles 😅 My thoughts was that's not necessary how you do it( for others I've seen) I though why not this.. I'm only following you mudhole, edge, and a few others watching atm. You've already done and shown nearly all on my list 😅 I don't even know why or how I started seeing yours.. North Fork, Recoil guides and C602 action(Ididnt get that on sale didn't understand catalog woth my wife that weekend BF sales) Apologies long just been hitting things back to back... I've already started or placed orders for and waiting also in FL(panhandle), partially disabled and was going to start TH-cam for my starting and experiences so I'll definitely have to reference you now since i see you did! Given the same blanks or some of the same blanks that you've already done real seats colors styles and videos you've been posting I don't know maybe the Lord sent me your way.. truly I don't even know how I just liked how you approach things and taught new.. even what i was going to do with my own cork to try you proved and did....😮 I like in your flake video how you say steal other people's ideas at least ha but at the same time make it your own! It's all custom and no one should get take offense it's all art! I love that That's, how I look at it and that's how I'm approaching it. I thought I was going against the grain and doing something different until I saw your videos ha You also mentioned following other builders that you like to follow. I'd love to know some that have some similar techniques I'm sure I'll find some. Yet you said you'd been watching others who had done some of it already if not a good portion and you add your own, touches changes to it. Lord willing sent me your way to confirm and help conform some Ideas. Already making mental notes of what you say you wouldn't have done. BF weekend also is when Foley guy retiring same setup even, all the tools and offering his knowledge. Like myself you pushing past the "norm" or regular classic basic clean styles.. Truly thank you, stay blessed looking forward to more and rewatching many to help avoid struggles and concerns i had with the higher end blanks...

Hi Captain Lee, Great channel.. Been catching up on the last two years of videos. What NFC Medium/Heavy fast spinning blank would you recommend for inshore, Fluke, Stripe Bass, and northeast fishing?

I just found your channel. I hate it, lol. YOU GOT ME BINGE WATCHING. I Love how you explain everything in detail for a person that's just learning.

Hi Capt. Lee. Few questions for you. With the Gen 2, can you elevate the chuck? I assume you can to match the different heights attainable with the CRB roller stands? I like the idea of being able to give myself more room under the blank. I'm torn between buying Alps for the chuck and then customizing with CRB roller stands & adapter down the line... or else going with the G2. I have been under the impression that the chuck carried the most importance. Is there a big difference between the upgraded Alps chuck & the G2 chuck? Thanks for the informative videos!

Just got my rod building kit any tips for beginners?

That thing is straight legit!!! Nice work!

I use the reel seats often. The comfort grip is my personal fav.

Shouldn’t the rod be balanced with the reel on it?

Nice looking handle! How is feel of those carbon fiber grips with epoxy on them? They look like they'd be slippery when the got wet.

Great video. Do you ever have an issue with the CRB roller stands and the wheels not turning? Mine stick and they are leaving marks on the rod blanks from rubbing on them.

Great Job Captain!

Saaaaaawweeeeeeeett

2” mini chop saw from harbor freight with some arrow cutting blades 👍🏽

Had to out the vid on mute.

great videos sir. could you tell me what material you have on your workbench surface? thanks for all the videos.

Looks pretty cool.

Thanks for the review. Want to take advantage of the Black Friday sales but having a hard time trying to decide which blanks work for which techniques. The prices make trial and error a little more palatable but don’t really want to build a bunch of rods that don’t work for what I was planning.

Did you do this yourself? Also, focus on your breathing during vids. Trust me, you dont want what's supposed to be a vid showcasing your skills to turn into everyone roasting you in the comments

Thanks for the review lot lighter blank than I thought was planning on buying it for a 3/8 to 1/2 oz jig rod guess I’ll have to look for something else

Super ! A spinning rod can be made from this blanc !?

I have an old GLX spinning rod that has the recoil guides. The noise created by the braid going through the guides really pisses some people off 😂. To be honest I don’t like it either
