Fishermen
If you sport fish, you use fishing rods! This is the place to learn anything and everything
about fishing rods! There will be hundreds of rod builders and component designers on-
hand who will gladly explain anything from what makes one action or type of rod better for
a specific species or angling technique, to what guide ring materials are best suited to
your needs. Fishing rods are first and foremost a tool, and the more you know about your
tools, the more effective you will be with them!
There’s a lot more to a custom fishing rod than picking your favorite colors. A
Professional Rod Builder will fit the rod to both you and your style of fishing, as well as
provide you with choices and recommendations on the most up to date materials available
to make your fishing experience more productive and enjoyable.
Ever wonder what exactly goes into building a rod? Ever had the desire to learn how to
build your own but didn’t know where to begin? Come sit in on any of the free seminars
ranging from basic rod building to advanced thread art. Books, video's and rod kits for
those just starting out will be available and on sale! The general fishing public is
welcomed, and strongly urged to attend this event!
Rod Builders
This will be the place for west coast rod builders, professional and novice alike, to learn
the latest techniques, tips and tricks, the latest and greatest in new components and
materials, and see first-hand the cutting edge of fishing rod, tools, component and
material technology. There will be seminars and demonstrations running throughout the
day.
Builders can meet the people who make the products they use, discover new sources for
materials, and meet and exchange ideas with fellow builders. This is also a great
opportunity to show your stuff! This is THE place for Fishermen to connect with reputable
Custom Rod Builders and see the artistry and ingenuity of the craft first hand.
And don't forget the DEALS! Not only will you find show specials on blanks,
components and tools, but there will be overstocks and closeouts at prices you
can't afford to miss!
