Making a Fishing Rod from a Busted Rod: THE FRANKENROD 2!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- He has done it before and will doubtless do it again...take 2 sections of broken fishing rod that most would have thrown into the dumpster and turn them into a perfectly usable fishing rod which he calls the "FRANKENROD 2". Don't laugh as the Franken 1 rod has already had some good fish caught on it. Also filmed is a mysterious bright orange fungus that needs identifying. Would you know what the jelly like creation is? Watch the film to check it out.

It's Friday, it's 7pm, it's TA fishing.
Lockdown is proving very hard for many anglers. However, Graeme is here to enlighten us and educate us.
I have a glass of Merlot in my hand... Away you go Graeme!!!
Hi Graeme. A great Saturday morning watch with my 2 year old, he loves a bit of TA fishing. Thanks for going through the pictures in the tackle shack, you never seem to run out of fishing stories. Hoping I can make similar memories with my son
Thanks, Graeme. I love the blue, very classy.
Watching for many years graeme. Your channel deserves 100X the views it has. Great contact. Love the stories. Dean, Dublin IRE
SMITH (Hand raised) Smith here Mr Pullen, Sir. I think the yellow fungus thing you found is Mrs Pullen's bath sponge that she threw at you for testing your lures in her bath - whilst she was in it. And you probably will survive, though not if you cook up whitebait with sweet chilli crisps ever again. PS As it's Friday, Ma cooks fish for dinner tonight. Not the usual battered Pollack from Iceland (the store not the country - I can't cast that far, but poached seatrout - all thanks to your tips!
Poached seatrout sounds good..just have to catch me one...Also had fish for tea tonight..some battered and brutelised piece of white flesh that was virtually tasteless..but Friday is fish night so have to run with it or I might get trouble....Fence mending round the old corral tomorrow..be glad when the weather gets sorted.
Totally fantastic rod build, very interesting. Thanks again for the vids
Recycle, I get that!!!!!! Excellent Lesson at TA Fishing School today. If I had an apple it would be on your bench or a breakfast taco. Gorilla Glue works on holding hair in place.
Get in just what I’ve been waiting for 7pm Friday 👌💪🎣
Brave man painting with no cover on the table!
More from the Master!
I really enjoyed watching this video 👌👍👍👍
Looking forward to see Frank 2 in action!
That's devil snot look for large three toe prints on the lawn.....keep them coming G.P....love them
Graham pullen, the 'rod father' of 2021.
Ahh the Enjoyment Of The Franken Rod Build , Nothing like it ,I actually Had A Series of Reels That I Used and Liked that I would only buy Those rarely did one have a misissue but if so I had spare Parts after a couple years of using them, I still have A Couple Of Those Now That I've Managed To Save From My Two Sons, Thankfully They're Both Thru The Teen Years and Float Trips That always Seem to result in a mishap somehow 🤦🏻♂️🤪🤷🏻♂️🤔, LoL 😂 , But I Remember Those Days As Well So ,, these were inexpensive really , had a great drag system and For the size of the Reel I put some big fish in the net but I could spool them with a 8 to 10 pound Braid use a 3 ft mono leader of a 4 lb tied into a high low rig and fish Crappie Jigs Of Course I change Rods But Those little cheap shakespeare Reels did well for a ultralight ,Ya don't find many that you can get a dual role With often , I would spool 30 pound Braid and catch red drum and Specks,Flounder Black Drum a few trips , change out the spool to the 8 pound put it on a Light Weight Rod and catch Crappie , The Rods I'm the same never throw anything Away , most I buy I usually end up adding a Guide or two , I Had A Lew's Speed Stik That Had been rebuilt more times than Dale Earnhardt's engine lol 🤣🤣🤣 , 🤷🏻♂️ , Anyway Enjoyed The Show , Hopefully This Blasted China Virus Will Disappear , Till Then ,Do what ya Must Gram , From Mississippi we Bid You A Great Thanks For The Entertainment , ,
Another great vid - fun light entertainment again, thank you
Your the best pal 👍😁♥️
Rod making, cookery, gardening what a fun guy (fungi) you are to watch, cant wait to catch Frankie at work. Why don't you whip some string onto that kettle handle, save your pinkies from burning. As always, entertaining. Thank you.
No problem...Working on 2 new experimental films right now,if your lights dim you'll know my theory was wrong...
I love the use of the gas cooker knob for the butt cap Graeme. When you're out catching (I nearly said cooking then) fish with Wayne, you can say to him "We're cooking on gas now Wayne" Haha. By the way, that Gorilla glue is brilliant stuff and is widely used by rod restourers and builders now. It's especially good for using on old delaminated cane rods because when you wet the cane the glue froths up and fills the gaps then you just wipe off any excess.
Awesome build. Can you do a pink one for Sharon? Regarding Gorilla glue I often use it to reinforce knots for wreck fishing. A very fine coating on the knot and never had a slip or break yet. Also if you hang a flapper rig horizontal whilst building and the snood swivels are facing down you can can put some Gorilla glue on in a taper shape and your snoods will naturally stand off way more giving far less tangles if you cast hard. It was just a "Pullen experiment" when I was bored but it works. Graeme I would love to see you use Gorilla glue to make things stand off more.
Evening mr pullen . Hope you and your family are well 👍
A little bit of leaf litter breaking down in your pond is fine but if left unattended for too long it can snowball into a problem. It'll make nice, rich organic silt initially but it will start to acidify the water, this can be adjusted fairly easily on a small scale by adding chalk dust to swing the balance back to neutral/slightly alkali.
One of the lakes that I manage is a small old estate lake that is surrounded by oak trees and has a rather pressing issue due to the leaf fall every year. The silt is deep (was dug 12-15ft deep 300yrs ago, now 4-5ft) and acidic to the stage that the bacteria colonies have fallen apart and are barely able to cope with the yearly leaf fall, it is basically just partially rotten leaves piled on more partially rotten leaves, the stuff underneath is being broken down by anaerobic bacteria which releases all sorts of nasty gasses into the water. The lake needed dredging 30+ years ago but was never properly managed and now the club that has stewardship over it doesn't have the finances to solve the problem. Shame really as it's a really charming little lake but unless something changes I doubt it's got much more than 20 years before it's just a lifeless bog.
It does happen.Slow process which many don't notice the deterioration. Also cutting back bankside growth helps ,but nowadays management seems to take a back seat. By the time the "committee" have decided who has sugars and who does not the problem is done.
Nice video Graeme 👍. Can't wait to see the new Fanking rod ,in action 🎣. Just keep Garila glue away from your hair 🤣🤪😜. 🇨🇦🤘
Entertainment at its best, it just shows what can be achieved if you put your mind to it. Well done Graeme I feel sure there will be some easing of lockdown on Monday, hang on in there and thanks for posting.
Yes,there will deffo be some easing of Lockdown on Monday...Its called a glass of Merlot !!!!
I wish you were here in the states....I'd travel across the country to fish with you
Nice video again 👍
Yes, it's Yellow Brain and is inedible. Generally grows on dead deciduous trees esp hornbeams, oaks, alders, willows etc. Usually grows from spring to autumn so its a little early this year. Also like the look of Fankie2. Atb Malcolm 🏴
Hi Graham, the fungus you have there is one called Tremella Mesenterica and commonly called witches’ butter, in bushcraft it has anti inflammatory properties.
Hopefully you’ll get out soon to try frank 2 Graham, I look forward to seeing it in action, tight lines and stay safe mate
Love the build!
I would love to have an little shack like that. I would be out there all day. 😂😂 put up all my fishing gear in there.
Do the silicon spray outside of the shack to avoid making a mess with the over spray
The oak leaves deffinatly affect the acidity of the pond, but that isn't too much of a problem. If anything the added organic matter should help fertilize your Lily pads as you mentioned but will also lead to major algae blooms in the summer, so it's entirely up to you if you remove the leaves or not. If you wanted to add fish to your pond the leaves must go as the higher acidity also increases the amount of dissolved CO2 in the water which as you could imagine is very dangerous for fish. It is however perfect for submersed aquatic plants which will also help cut back on the algae. Hope this was useful 👍
Also thats called yellow brain fungus I see them all over the place in an oak woodland near me.
When there is moisture in the air it makes it feel colder ,you are right about that ! That's a fact
Tremella mesenterica yellow brain fungus Looks like to me!!!! Great vid!!
Graham fairy liquid would have got the cork handle on without cracking
Wet cold air wicks heat away far quicker due to thermal conductivity, its a bit like laying in wet slush instead of powder snow ;)
Wind chill is a killer.
Hi Graeme,
That's Jelly Fungus also called "Witches Butter". I think i will stick to Lurpak Ha Ha.
Great job on that Rod.
Steve in Fife.
Finding the spine is done with golf club shafts as well. I think it’s called frequency matching.
Hi there love the channel but seeing you file those eyelets in your fingers made me think you should invest in a mini vice I’m sure it would make jobs such as these much easier have a good day. Tight lines
Nice I need try this
That's yellow brain fungus I think. Also called witch's butter.
I’m watching a good video in Korea again today
When repairing a rod tip eye of mine, after some research it seemed a Polymide Epoxy Resin was the best. Its durable, weather and water resistant. I decided to use just hot glue as it'll be easier to remove tho. Bit for your rods and that kind of DIY id fork out for the Polymide. This was only my own research tho I'm not a pro
I heard a hair dryer works pretty good for taking rod guides off
Fyi I think that's the gorrila glue you need to activate with water and it expands I have the same bottle not sure as can't read the label
Tanin is associated with oak undoubtably its what gives oak that distinctive smell. Thanks Graeme. Youve mentioned that beer again. Regards Stuart Bell from up North.[ see what Monday Brings] 🤔
Orange jelly fungus
Graeme.... I’ve have made fishing rods up myself from odds and ends bits and pieces over the years,all good fun,I must admit I haven’t got any with an oven knob on the end! Brilliant my man,I am laughing 😂 but really do admire you,keep going better times ahead mate👍
Frankenrod 1 had a drawer handle for a butt cap,and Frank 2 a gas cooker knob...I only do it to be awkward and wind up the tackle tarts,plus nobody is surely going to market them ??? But you never know...there could be a country abroad setting up machine parts as I type.....
I am making resin gas cooker knob moulds right now! There has to be a gap in the market😂
YES, YES, YES remove all the fallen leaves, this is critical to the health of your fish, why, when the leaves eventually sink to the bottom, that is the danger zone because, for want of a better word 'composting' begins which, in the early stage, is achieved by a strain of bacteria for which is the term for this process is the aerobic stage, or in the presence of oxygen. So under water where are these 'aerobic' bacteria going to get the fuel they need {Oxygen} to complete their part of the 'Nitrogen cycle' from. They 'steal' the dissolved oxygen from the water, to the detriment of your fish. Have you at any time, when you have not removed these leaves, ever observed any of your fish appearing as though they are surface feeding (for some reason warm\hot air temperature seems to exacerbate the problem} they are not feeding they are gasping for air because of the 'stolen' oxygen.
Might be worth you investing in;
1} A dissolved oxygen test kit
2} Do indeed monitor the PH of the water, perhaps a minimum of once every 4 weeks.
3} Invest in a pond size air stone and a suitably sized air pump. Or any means that will create strong surface agitation as this surface agitation will aid the exchange of gases, including the replacement of much needed {dissolved} oxygen.
You may well be rewarded by searching youTube channels, not only those dedicated to pond keepers, but also the keepers of aquarium based tropical fish as we, at one time or another find ourselves faced with the same problem {and more) that you are experiencing.
Sorry for the length of this comment but I felt that a more {semi} in depth answer to your question, out of respect for all the advice and assistance that both you and your son have offered {freely over the years} was in order.
Keep uploading and stay safe during these crazy times.
Mike
As always a great film. My brother died a year ago and I have one of his old rods he was going to rebuild, I feel a project in my workshop now. My wife is always saying throw it away........never, like you say it will come in handy.
Great looking fishing shack great video
Anything rotting in your pond will reduce the PH making it more acidic. I would not recommend detritous in a pond as it can be a food source for parasites. The colour comes from the leaves dying the water. Prevention is better than cure. Stick a net on it during Autumn. I love your videos and I think you're brilliant, thank you so much for all these years your're great.
this is just class nice rod ,helps with our 9 more week lock down in ireland can't wait to get back fishing in Wicklow east cost great fishing
He's right you know. It's bally cold in the UK.
Thanks Greame for yet another entertaining video it helped cheer up a miserable lock down. Do you have a PO box address so i can send you a wedge of new stanley blades?
Yellow Brain fungus. Tremella Mesenterica
Cheese and tomato sauce sarnies. I lived on them in primary school
Haven't used Gorilla Glue, but I put a piece of Gorilla Tape on the roof of my car to cover up a hole and haven't touched it for 5 years even after countless car washes and winters. Works great.
Thats irritating i just threw a rod i had for years thinking ill never sort it.
Hows the back?
Backs OK at present,now the wrist is playing up....
The fungus is witch's butter - Tremella mesenterica
Rod cork butt ends needed a strip of red sateen ribbon, wrapped and epoxied.
Get some softies, you won't regret it and i can also highly recommend a pair of Heavy weight MTP Gore-tex wet weather over trousers. Speaking from experience when it comes to out doors pursuits the British Army's got the lot. Iturri cold wet weather boots too!
As usual spot on Mr G

Greetings from the Brighton beach
Good bless you and your family
Hi back Brighton beach..stay safe and get out on that beach for some Plaice..I hear they are in.
Thanks for the tips all off them I start my sea fishing Adventure just 2 years ago Catching lots thanks to your lovely videos Big han of program and your sense of humour
I got lost of Bass 30 paund Conger 18 paund blonde Ray hundreds of Wh... 🐟 All from the Baach my and 8 year old son jus love yours program
Looked through shows can't find how to set drag with star drag when fishing for porbeagles. I be using sealine 900 with Shakespeare ugly stik altantis salt 50lb rollers. I bet this be right up your street to do show please
In a hundred years from now that rod will be selling in Sotherby's for 6 maybe 7 figures! In a thousand years archaeologists will be wondering why there is a collection of weird and wonderful heavy metal objects scattered on Graeme's boat fishing marks!! 😳
Yellow brain fungus, can't remember the Latin name. Great video Greame
My Grandmother used to cut my sandwiches like that.. LOL
👍
We see a Wilson yellow in Simson marine today but it wasn't awesome as yours Dude
A horrible feeling your blue paint will crack when the rod bends. Hope I'm wrong. Otherwise, an excellent Frankenrod.
It might when it buckles over in the summer on a 300lb Thresher shark,but I've hooped it over in the garage and its fine.
How come you don't keep fish in your pond greaham
The Heron got them all which means I would have to use netting,and that defeats the object as I don't want to sit looking at netting.
Hi there , good to see you safe and well 😊👍 another good video 📹👍 do hope you will be a fishing shortly all the best colin bradford from Milton Keynes.
Yes,I could do with some river fishing before the season shuts...I am all jabbed up with Phase 1 experimentation so I am coiled like a spring waiting for the off. Ironically the guy opposite at the Vacc centre was a boat angler as well,fishing out of Calshot so we talked fish while we waited to be cleared for takeoff.
Your orange jelly stuff is called Witches butter, and your safe it's non toxic
very cool graeme my ad and i were watching this together and he loved fishing with his dad still has the flyrods
Think that’s yellow brain. Used to see it a lot when I lived more rural.
Rural yellow brain? That would explain a lot . :)
Great video I like the rod idea you have giving me ideas as I have some old breaking rod here
Give it a go,you can get a kick out of it when you pull up a good fish.
I have an old 2 piece surf rod that I want to repurpose....it is a cheapy....bottom half the female....top half the male...it is such a ridiculously strong rod....I want to make a telescopic rod....like a flipping stick....where the top section rescinds into the bottom section. Right now it is a 10 footer but I imagine if I sriop the eyes off and stick the top section into the bottom section...the length will change dramatically
It looks like it is Orange pill fungi
Graham could you please show me how to turn a 6 piece rod into a 2 piece thank you I would appreciate any help.
If its already segmented just glue some of the sections together ?? Or do you mean its already smashed into 6 pieces ?
@@TAFishing its one of these soegayluing rods from wish thanks for your reply I'll gorilla glue them tight lines.
Just wondering where you get ur cork from graeham because I'm off work for 2 weeks and I want to have a little go at making my own Franken Rod which ur fix rod video jogged me memory and have old rods I can experiment with lol
I had some from rod building years ago. You should try your search engine for a rod builder they may have some spare they could sell you.
Cheers graeham appreciated 👍
I need to pick up some eyes...with the cheap rods I use, it's not even worth repairing them as a few eyes cost as much as a new rod. But...I don't want to throw out the rods I have that only need minor repair because that is wasteful. So I have a stack of broken rods that just sit there, because I'd rather spend the $15 on a new rod vs some ebay-quality eyes. I managed to pick up a stack of Shimano spinning rods for $4 CAD each...I don't even think I could buy a single eye for that price.
Hi Graham I love your videos when I’m sad I watch you and you make my day and yeah Graham if I could go carp fishing with you I would love it thank you very much search me up on Facebook comment please we could go todber
Greame are you trying to frighten everyone away, Frankenrod and going ou natural??
No fishing for quite some time yet??? you are allowed out fishing if its somewhere local to you... counts as exercise.
But not worth doing much in my area what with cold weather,cold wind and the limit....
@@TAFishing yeah I know what you mean but even some tiddler bashing better than nothing after a while!
I have a pair of softies there duvet for you legs 15£ army surplus not water proof tho
Witch's butter
Tremella mesenterica is a common jelly fungus in the family Tremellaceae of the Agaricomycotina. It is most frequently found on dead but attached and on recently fallen branches, especially of angiosperms, as a parasite of wood decay fungi in the genus Peniophora
