Awsome job thanks for sharing I just started into rod building myself got the ice rod starter package it’s a challenge at first but I think I’m gonna stick with it
Have you ever just added mica pigments to a little bit of epoxy instead of using the little jars or pigment? 100's more colors out there. Just curious if that would work. It works for me when I make pen blanks for turning. Looking at getting into this
@@EagleEyeOutdoorsEEO thanks, the rod looks great. Just played around with some marbling for the first time today, I found that I could leave the epoxy to tack up a little (thicken) and achieve different affects, as when I did it with more viscosity.
Danny Cabrera you can do this technique on any rod or blank. All you need is a way to support the rod and able to rotate. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
It’s a smooth finish since the epoxy is self leveling. If you play with it to long and over work the epoxy allowing it to thicken, you might start running into issues.
Could I do this to an already finished rod or would I have to sand down any finish that's already there? I have a split grip sorta like that one I would like to do this or a wrap with.
This is a great way to freshen up an old rod or even a new one you just bought. Either way you want to go will be obtainable. The main thing to keep in mind is you need to make sure it’s clean. I use denatured alcohol which can be purchased at any hardware store.
I wouldn't buy that paint from the major businesses I would just go to Walmart buy it there it's only 50 cents it's still the same thing the major businesses Mark up the prices ten times more a couple announces your paying 5 6 7 dollars for little ounces not worth it
*Packaging was awesome. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend Tube is tough and kept the rod very safe. Rods gorgeous! Can’t wait to use it this spring.*
look great sir nice job
Excellent video! Thank you so much! You remind me of Bob Ross - same mannerism and very easy to follow.
Dixie Rods Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad I can help out. I’ll be doing a video soon with a 2 layer marble that I’ve been playing with!
What kind of pigment are you using
would you be able to use this technique on wood?

J M thanks for the info! I have not tried that but will look into it. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you get into this!
What was the metal object that you pulled out of the epoxy before you separated it?
It’s a cylinder weight that comes with mixer. This will help mix the epoxy and help minimize bubbles.
Is that thin set or thick set epoxy?
Cane Corso I used ProKote on that one and it’s more of a medium. I have done with thin as well depending how much movement I want.

Cool video, but I have a Phoenix rod but it’s not a blank, would it still be possible to do it ? Please let me know

Is the finish smooth? Or rough because of using the toothpick?
It’s a smooth finish since the epoxy is self leveling. If you play with it to long and over work the epoxy allowing it to thicken, you might start running into issues.
Cool. Video. Thanks for sharing
Ralph Barton Thanks!

hes always running out of denatured alcohol bc he doesnt close the lid and it evaporates away haha appreciate the video EEO
Looks like a seagull took a shit on our pole
That looks like my kids doodling
Then why did you watch?

A very good example of "stupid anglers! "
Thanks for the view 👍🏻
Barbara Cates and yet your “stupid ass” still took the time to watch and comment?
