Title: A dream rod
Post by: JasonGotaProblem on February 08, 2026, 09:12:48 PM
I haven't spun a rod on my bench for myself or anyone else in I think almost a year.

Part of my wife's routine putting my 3 year old daughter to bed is asking what she's gonna dream about. Turns out for the past week she's planned on dreaming about "going fishing for fish with daddy with my purple unicorn fishing rod." And I'm only now hearing about this?

Well I'm a rod builder again. Starting immediately.

I think I'm gonna build it like a cane pole sort of, without a reel seat but with a bunch of running guides and something to attach to at the bottom. I could just build it like a regular rod and tie the line to the lowest guide. I'm gonna give it some thought. Gotta get thru a few competing ideas.
