WHY RING LOCK?American Tackle Ring Lock guides are designed to reduce weight while increasing guide life and strength. By increasing the contact area aroundthe outside of the insert, Ring Lock offers dramatically reduced ring failure and increased frame integrity. The Quad Leg design greatly reduces ring-popping lateral torque through a more stable frame. Made with the proprietary ATLAS stainless steel frame.

Step-by-Step Rod Building

The Steps to Building a RodThere are only a few basic steps to rod building. It requires nothingmore than assembly of the handle parts on the blank along withwrapping and finishing of the guides. The materials and tools aresimple and easily obtained.

The steps for rod building are:1. Designing your rod.2. Gathering components, supplies and tools.3. Determining the spine of the rod blank.4. Building a handle.5. Installing the tiptop.6. Wrapping the guides.7. Trimming and decorative wrapping.8. Applying the finish.

Examine these steps and you will see that rod building is easy. Itdoes take time and care. If this is your first rod, you may wish topractice your wrapping techniques before beginning work on youractual rod project.

Designing Your RodFishing rods vary widely, based on the type of rod and its intended use. Heavy, powerful rods often have long handles for increased

leverage in fighting fish. Long rods are used for long distance casting. Lighter rods are used for throwing small lightweight baits. Some casting rods and big game rods feature handles which are

manufactured as complete units and need no assembly, whilemost other rods feature built-on handles of cork or syntheticfoam material. Casting rods usually have trigger reel seats.

Gathering Rod Components,Supplies and ToolsAll of the rod components and component supplies needed to craftyour own fishing rod are available through Mud Hole Custom Tackle.You can order online at www.mudhole.com.

Rod components include:1. Rod blank.2. Handle assembly (reelseat, grip material, butt cap).3. Guides and tip top.

To learn more about rod building components, closely examineexisting rods and talk to the knowledgeable rod builders at Mud HoleCustom Tackle.Supplies needed for assembly include:1. Reel seat bushing materialcork bushings, masking tape, etc.2. Epoxy glue for gluing reel seats, handles, cork rings, etc.3. Tip top adhesives for installing tip tops.4. Thread for wrapping guides.5. Finishes for protecting thread wrappings.

Other supplies include:1. Sandpaper for shaping handles (coarse50 to 80 grit, medium

100 to 150 grit, fine220 to 320 grit).2. Masking tapegeneral purpose for taping guides, building reel

seat bushings, etc.3. Mixing cups and stirrers for mixing epoxy finishes and glues4. Solvents for clean-up.5. Paper towels for clean-up.6. Adding machine tape for tracing of existing rods.7. Brushes for application of glues and epoxy finishes.8. Aluminum foil, a good surface for mixing epoxies.Tools include:1. Filestriangular, half-round, flat and rat-tail.2. C-clamp for cork ring application.3. Rulers and tapes for measuring.4. Disposable lighter for heating hot melt glues.5. X-acto knife for cutting thread at end of wrap.6. Fingernail clipper (Trim brand) for trimming thread.7. Plierssmall general use or needle nose for installing tip tops.8. Pen, pencil and china marker for marking blanks and record

keeping. If you've assembled all your components and supplies, it's time toget down to the fun part; building the rod!

Determining the Spine of the RodAlmost all manufactured rod blanks are tubular and hollow. These

tubular rods have a stiff side called the spine, whichmust be located to position the guides and reel

seat on the blank properly for optimalperformance. Solid glass rods also have a spinewhich must be determined.

To locate the spine, place the butt of the rodblank on a smooth surface. Support the rod nearthe tip with the open palm of one hand so that therod is resting at about a 30 to 45 degree angle tohorizontal. Using the other hand, apply adownward pressure to the rod blank to bend itslightly. At the same time, roll the butt of theblank on the smooth surface.

As you do this, the rod will jump into apronounced curve. The outside of the

curve is the spine. Mark it with maskingtape or a marker.

In most cases a rod will performbest when the guides and reel

seat are aligned on theblank so that the rod willbend easier toward thefish. This means thespine will be up.

Building Fishing Rod HandlesGrip length will vary with the rod and type of use. Grips can be madeof cork or synthetic foam. A popular method for designing a handle isto attach the reel that you will use with the rod on a reel seat andslide the reel/reel seat combination up and down the rod until it feelscomfortable for you. This helps locate the best reel position forproper balance in relation to the rod design, function andperformance. Hold the rod as you would when casting, retrieving andfighting fish to check this reel seat location.

Cork Handle Construction

Pre-formed grips and handle kits are available andrecommended for the first-time rod builder. For a custom fithandle, follow these directions.1. To build a cork handle, begin by reaming cork rings with an eightinch round wood file or a razor wand (stock # RZM). The rings mustbe reamed out individually to fit snugly on the blank.2. Once you have completed reaming cork rings for the fore and reargrips, you are ready to begin assembly of the rings for the rear grip.Use a glue such as Flex Coat Rod Builders Epoxy Glue (stock # RG4).Measure and mix thoroughly. Take each cork ring and slide it on the

blank. Just before pushing it intoplace, coat the blank and facing corksurfaces with a thin layer of epoxyglue. Push the cork rings together.3. Use a cork clamp available fromMud Hole Custom Tackle (stock # R24)to clamp the cork rings of the rear gripwhile the epoxy cures.4. The blank above the rear grip mustbe built up or shimmied for installationof the reel seat.

To make tape bushings, wrap the masking tape evenly and smoothlyaround the rod to the inside diameter of the reel seat, leaving small1/8 to 1/4 inch gaps between the bushings for epoxy glue. Whenusing masking tape, it is important to realize that the tape is usedonly as a spacer.The attachment ofthe reel seat musthave a strongbond of epoxyglue extendingfrom the blank tothe reel seat.Note: Do not glue the reel seat until you have reamed out the corkrings for the foregrip, using the same techniques previouslydescribed for making the reargrip.5. Glue the reel seat, putting plenty of epoxy in the gaps of the tapebushings. At this point, it is important to adjust the reel seat so thatthe hoods which hold the reel feet are in line with the intendedpositions for the guides. After the reel seat is installed, glue andclamp the foregrip cork rings in exactly the same manner as youpreviously did the reargrip.

6. One method for shaping a rod handle is to use hand tools. Toavoid damage during this operation, protect the blank and the reelseat with a layer of masking tape. Begin initial shaping of the corkgrips with a half-round file. Be sure to remove an equal amount ofcork from all sides of the cork grip to keep the grip centered on therod blank.7. Cut down the rear cork to fit the butt cap.8. Use sand paper for final shaping and finishing of the cork handles.Remove the protective masking tape.9. Glue the butt cap in place with epoxy.

Foam Handle ConstructionFoam (synthetic) handles can be used in place of cork for both foreand rear grips. Most foam grips come preshaped in a variety ofinside and outside diameters in various lengths. Several colors areavailable; grips can be trimmed to the exact length you need. Foamgrips can be purchased in straight, unshaped lengths and can beshaped using the same methods used to shape a cork handle.

Considerations when Installing Foam GripsThe keys to installing foam handles are heat and lubrication.

Heat comes in the form of hot water. Boil a pan of water, cut theheat off and drop the grip in for three to five minutes while you arebusy lubricating the blank. The grip should be submerged but notfolded or distorted while it is in the hot water.

Lubrication comes in the form of epoxy glue such as Flex CoatRod Builders Epoxy Glue (Stock # RG4), which also serves as apermanent bond after curing.

Fitting Foam Grips on the Blank1. Slide the grip down the blank to locate the binding point, wherethe grip first meets resistance and must be stretched to proceedfurther down the blank. Mark a point 8 to 12 inches above this point.This is the starting point for your lubrication.2. Lubricate the rod with epoxy from the binding point established inStep 1 to the other end of the blank.3. Slide the grip into place, making sure it is positioned properly.4. Clean up excess epoxy with 90% alcohol or acetone.5. Build up bushings on blank for reel seat and epoxy the reel seat asdescribed in cork handle section. Make certain you align reel seatwith intended position of guides.6. Install the foregrip in the same manner as the rear grip and cleanup the reel seat.7. Finally, glue on the butt cap.

Final Thoughts on HandlesRemember that these techniques can be used for almost any type ofhandle, of any length or style, on any rod. The main variations would be:

1. Fly rods, in which the reel seat is mounted at the end of the blankwith a single grip above it.

2. Casting rods in which a pistol grip is hand shaped for rear grip.

When installing the tip top on your blank, use a good hot meltadhesive. This is one that maintains a high strength bond in alltemperatures and retains flexibility when cold. Flex Coat ThermalPlastic Tip Top Adhesive or equivalent products are ideal. Theymaintain their bond even under extreme heat conditions, such asclosed cars on summer days.

Tip Top Installation1. Carefully and lightly scrape the rod clean with your knife back to thelength of the tip top.

2. Heat the adhesive stick with a lighter. When it becomes molten, coatthe scraped area on the blank. When heating stick adhesives, hold theflame near but NOT in contact with the adhesive stick. Use caution withany open flame. Keep away from solvents or other flammables.

3. While the adhesive is still hot, remove and place a small amount ofit into the open end of the tip top.

4. Heat both the tip top and the adhesive on the rod tip with yourflame, avoiding overheating the blank.

5. Push the tip top completely onto the rod tip and align with theintended position of the guides and reel seat. To reposition or removethe tip top, just reheat.

Guide SpacingGuide spacing is best determined by taking measurements from asimilar existing rod or basing it on rod building and fishingexperience. Some tips may help.

1. Most beginning rod builders try to use too many guides.

2. Too many guides result in overloading the blank. It becomes lessresponsive and excess friction on line during cast reduces the lengthof the cast.

3. Too few guides result in strain and wear on the line, guides andblank by improper distribution of fishing stresses.

4. The stripped guide on spinning rods should be a little further awayfrom the reel than the stripper guide on a similar casting rod of thesame length and action. It makes the line flow smoothly from thespinning reel, but the extra distance is not required on a casting reel.On a casting rod, the closer distance holds the line away from the rodblank, foregrip and your hand when fighting fish.

Here is a way to test your decision on guide spacing:

1. Attach your guides to the blank with masking tape at the positionsyou have decided on.

2. Put a reel loaded with proper size line on the reel seat.

3. Run the line through the guides and attach it to something solid lowon the floor to simulate fishing.

4. Set the drag to a normal setting.

5. Hold the rod as you would when fishing.

6. Pull back and up on the rod to apply pressure.

7. Visuallystudy your guide

placement. Does the line appear to equallydistribute the stresses? As a rule, what looks good

performs well and vice versa. At this point you maywant to make adjustments and go through the

procedure again.

*Suggested guide spacing. Adjustment of guides will be based onyour specific application.Prepare guides for wrapping by filing the end of the guide foot to atapered edge.Temporary Guide AttachmentGuides must be temporarily attached and aligned on the blank beforewrapping can begin. A popular method isto tape the guides in place with thin stripsof masking tape and visually sight downover the rod to check alignment.

A preferred means of alignment is to placethe rod in a device like a Power RodWrapper. While looking straight down therod, align it with the horizontal center stripbelow as illustrated.

6. Continue wrapping until 6 to 8 turnsfrom where the wrap will end. At thispoint lay down a separate loop ofthread or monofilament fishing lineunder the wrap with the looppointing away from the wrap andon the opposite side of the blankfrom the guide.

7. Continue turning tothe point where youwant the wrap to end.Apply pressure tomaintain tension and cutthe thread.

8. Tuck the loose end of the thread throughthe loop, maintaining tension with yourfinger.

9. Pull the loop, whichpulls the end of thethread under the wrap tomake tie off.

10. Work the thread from side side to opena slight gap in the wrap.

11. Place X-acto knife on tie off thread in gapand pull thread against blade to cut.Don't saw or slice.

12. Use rounded, polished handle of nail clippers toburnish the thread and close any gaps for perfect rod wrap.

13. Continue all wraps this way and make sure that the wraps ondouble foot guides are equal on both sides. Aesthetically, guidewraps should become shorter and smaller as the guides progress tothe tip top.

Rod wrapping thread is usually nylon and is specifically designed forwrapping rods. Thread comes in 100 yard spools as well as bulkspools of 1-ounce and 4-ounce. The average rod wrapping job can bedone with a hundred yards.

Thread is available in several different diameters or weights: sizes A(the smallest) through EE (the largest). Size A is used for wraps onlight and medium freshwater rods. It is good for underwraps on anyrod and is useful for making small decorative tags. Size C is used forheavy freshwater rods and all saltwater rods. It makes a goodoverwrap on all rods when size A is used as an underwrap. Size D isonly slightly larger than C and is used on heavier rods. Use of C andD makes work on decorative butt wraps proceed faster than with A.

Wrapping the GuidesThere are several different ways of wrapping guides. One simple wayto do this is to place the thread spool in a cup and place the cupbehind a chair in which you will sit and wrap. Run the thread up andover the chair seat and sit down on it. Sitting on the thread willmaintain constant tension on it while the cup will contain the thread.Rest the rod crosswise on your thighs and wrap the thread over thetop of the rod. When wrapping the tip while using this method, restthe rod butt on another chair.

There are other methods involving devices which hold tension on thethread while you turn the rod by hand. Motorized power wrappers arealso available.

In all cases, constant tension of the thread must be maintained, fromthe start of the wrap to the tie-off of the thread.

A note on thread tension: There is no precise measure of the properamount required, but you need to maintain a good tight wrap whilebeing careful not to break the thread.

1. Begin by wrappingthread around the rod andapplying pressure as

shown to maintain tension.

2. Cross the thread over itself.

3. Turn rod until thread crosses itself asecond time. Release finger pressure;tension will remain. Note how fingerrolls down the rod.

4. Continue turning about 6 wraps,maintaining constant tension on thethread. Then closely trim the looseend with a nail clipper.

5. Continue wrapping up onto theguide foot. If the guide foot istemporarily attached with tape, remove thetape after the guide foot is secured with a few wraps.

rod to apply the finish. Apply a little more finish than needed to allowthe finish to soak in. If required, remove excess later when levelingthe finish. Let stand a few minutes and then level out the finish withlengthwise brush strokes.

6. For even drying, rotate the rod 1/2 turns as needed to preventsagging of the finish. Depending upon the thickness of the finish andthe ambient temperature, rotate the rod from 15 minutes to 1 1/2hours. Flex Coat will set to touch in about 6 hours. We recommend asmall slow gear motor (one to 30 rpm) can be used to continuouslyturn the rod. Depending upon the size of rod, use one of three coatsof finish.

Applying the Finish

Display of Various Rod Wraps

To protect your rod wraps, you will need a clear, durable protectivefinish. The best finishes are two-part epoxies such as Flex Coat HighBuild Polymer Rod Wrapping Finish (Stock# F4Y) which remainsflexible and protects the wraps throughout the life of the rod.

Do not confuse "rod wrapping finish" with "rod wrapping glue," as theyperform totally different functions. Also, the terms "epoxy" and"polymer" are completely interchangeable.

1. Before beginning, be certain the Flex Coat A and B resins are atleast above 75.

2. Using syringe, measure equal portions of resin (part A) andhardener (part B). Mix a minimum of 3 cc of each.

3. Combine the two parts into a mixing cup or similar container.

4. Mix thoroughly with a non-porous stirrer. Mixture will at firstbecome cloudy, then clear when mixed about 2 minutes.

5. While rotating the rod, use a small brush to apply the Flex Coat tothe rod wraps. Extend the finish slightly over the end of the wrap tocompletely protect it. Coat all wrappings quickly, working around the RBK-5

Determining the type and size of guides for your rod building project can be confusing if you do not understand some of the basics. Mud Holehas assembled the following information to help you in the process.

Fly Rod Stripping GuidesFly rods generally have 1, 2 or 3 stripping guides.Stripping guides typically contain an insert ringwithin the guide frame. The quality of a strippingguide depends on the compositon of both the guideframe and the insert ring. Stripping guide sizesrange from #8 to #20. These sizes give thediameter of the guide ring in millimeters.

Fly Rod Wire GuideWire guides are available in bothtraditional double foot, commonlyknown as snake guides and single footstyles. These guides also come in avariety of finishes. Wire guide sizesgenerally include 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1/0and 2/0 with 6 being the largest.

Single Foot Fly Rod Guides with InsertsThese single foot guides can be used in place of wire guides. As withstripping guides, the quality of single foot fly rod guides depends onthe composition of both the guide frame and the insert ring. Singlefoot fly rod guides are generally available in sizes 10, 8, 7, 6, and 5.5.These sizes give the diameter of the guide ring in millimeters.
