Today, I'm walking thru everything you need to build your own ice rods. This might be old hat for some of the pros on here - this is more geared to new builders that don't know where to start. Also, I'm not a professional rod builder & I'm self-taught, so some of the things that I do aren't how professionals will accomplish the same task - this is just how I do it.
Ice rods are 1 of the easiest to build, so once you do a few of them - you're pretty much set to build any kind of rod that you like. When I was starting out, there weren't as many resources online and I had to learn the hard way. Lots of trial + error, some failures. So, I'm hoping this video might inspire a few ppl to try rod building & shorten the learning the curve.
All the tools, equipment, + components are listed in the video description.If there's anything else that I didn't cover (I had to skip ahead in a few spots otherwise this video would be 2 hrs+ long), let me know. Ask question, if you're interested.
Check it out if you have some time...
