Any ice rod builders out there?

[Hog Daddy]

I've built a limited number of warm water rods for myself and family over the years, but never built an ice rod.  For those in the know, what are my best sources for rod blanks.  I wouldn't mind building a medium rod for the off chance I ever go walleye fishing, and also wouldn't mind a noodling rod...similar to thorn bros.  I have bought a lot of stuff from Janns Netcraft over the years and noticed they have blanks...are there others out there?

Any special considerations I should make when building an ice rod?

Thanks in advance for any shared tips / knowledge / leads.

You can buy blanks, guides, handles & rod seats from Thorne Bros.

I must be going nuts, but I thought there used to be some baby boards under "Equipment" or "Jigging" that covered rod building and lure fabrication. Are these located somewhere else or was this my aging imagination???

Sorry just waking I guess , it is under "Jigging" board.

That still doesn't rule out the possibility that you might be going nuts.
