I always was the carbon guy. The carbon blanks are light, fast, strong and you feel each tug to your bait.
Only for
catfish rods I said composite is the best material because of its durability.
But then I
saw some really cool pictures on Instagram of how a glass fly rod was build.
I was fascinated
by the process and the finished rod. Clear blue blank, chrome guides and thread
wraps which were becoming invisible during epoxy coating.
This was something
I wanted to do by myself. So I ordered a cheap #3 glass blank, a grip, some
guides and started wrapping.
For sure it
wasn't my masterpiece, but fishing a rod you've build by yourself and catching fish with it
makes much more fun.
