New adventures await. I have been wanting to do this for a while, any tips are appreciated! Apologies for any confusion with the spine of the rod, I added some text to help clarify what I was doing.
Hey, thanks for this interesting video 😊 I was trying to detecting the spines of rods several times and I always find 2; one is the weaker one and the other one the stronger one. Maybe I got it wrong - you took the weaker one in order to place the guides in that line? Would the other way around make (taking the stronger spine) more sense? Thank‘s a lot 👌🏼👌🏼
I’m not very good building them either but catching a fish on a rod you built is a lot more enjoyable! Any chance you want to do some diy tip up designs? Cheep/expensive for future videos? Or maybe a comparison between them?
Great video! I bought this kit and was a little disappointed when I realized that it didn’t have detailed instructions regarding these particular rods. Just like you stated in your video…one of the first things I realized was that the glass blank was too big for that handle tube 😂 how did you ultimately work around this issue? Thanks
Quality content just like always. I'm on the market for a quality ice rod, any recommendations? I'm currently running tickle sticks but looking for a possible change.
Well we don't have an ice rod sponsor at the moment so I did the only logical thing I could and bought one from every major brand! So I guess I should have a good review for you shortly. I need pick up a couple specifically from Frostbite due to their higher end components like the Recoil guides. I hate crappy ice guides, so those are really nice.
@@JLewisFishing some reviews would be awesome. I don't mind spending money on quality equipment but I don't have a ton to spend trying out several to find the right one. I have come to trust your opinions so any help would be great.

looking forward to the next video.
I lived in Waterloo my entire life and just started ice fishing last year
Just started watching your channel and great information! I’m from Kansas too.
Just bought a similar kit. Will watch your build first before I do one. Good luck
That class was sweet! It was really cool!
Thank you Sir for making this video.
Great video. I just ordered that kit and am excited to get started as well. Thanks, I’m off to the next video.
I didn't realize how much went into building a rod.This is very interesting. Looking forward to the series!
Thanks man! Wasn't sure if anyone else would be overly interested, but it is really fun to get into.

Great video my guy! I'm looking forward to part 2!!!
This is just what I was looking for. Can't wait for more videos on the build. Very well presented, thanks.stay safe and tight lines.
Thanks! It makes for longer videos, but I like seeing the whole process so I hoped others would too!
@@JLewisFishing They will . Shorter videos are more informative,and not rushed.
Nice to have you back - Honestly I think your channel has great potential to grow if you really go for it. It's gotta be a lot of work though.
Other than the handle vice you are doing it right.
I would post a picture of my handle vice but can't email me I'll send a pic from there.

I'm wanting to start making my own fishing rod for both winter and summer but don't know everything I will need
We have six inches of ice here in michigan
