I have another “BYOFR” class scheduled to begin mid-May. I have some folks who want to build rods for gifts for their dads, because Father’s Day is fast approaching. If you or someone you know would like to get in the class, I have a few spots left. Classes are held to six students, so I can spend adequate time with each of them.
Classroom instruction is $75, and that includes a textbook that’s is yours to keep. Components fee is $100 plus the cost of the blank you choose. Blanks start around $75, and go up as high as you want. Blank choices range from Temple Fork Outfitters to St. Croix to Thomas & Thomas, with lots more choices in between.
Most students build a rod that ends up costing them about $300-$350, and they couldn’t buy the same rod any cheaper. Then they have the pleasure of catching fish on a rod they built. The goal here isn’t to build a rod cheap anyway. It’s to learn a craft or have a good time fishing with a handcrafted rod.
Interested? Give me a call or email me.
