Amazing short! Ben is fine individual, and I’ve seen a few rods he has made for buddies - they are works of art.

Thanks bro!

I make all my own rods. I am weighting for guides right now but the next rod is a carbon fiber I rolled myself 6 foot 6 inch one piece. Painted it with automotive paint with a flex additive. Mopar electric green with metal flakes.

[@jamessipes122]

Are they any good videos on wrapping guides? What thread is recommended for fiberglass rod wraps?

[@bencasarez3672]

I'm sure there are great videos out there on how to wrap. I typically use Kimono silk thread on glass rods. Silk will turn translucent when finish is applied.

[@robertabraham9384]

Fly rods only.
