Custom Ice Rods
« on: Dec 09, 2012, 01:45 PM »
I've been thinking about building some ice rods. Does anyone have any experience, hints, tips, or tactics for doing this? Any suggested resources for getting the blanks and other materials?
Pics of custom rods anyone has built would be cool to see.
Thanks for any info...
