The CVTU Rod Building Class will run again this winter. This will be the third rod building class CVTU has offered since 2019 and it has been quite popular. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow chapter members while learning skills that will stay with you for years. You can choose to build a fly rod or a fresh/saltwater spinning rod.
This class will walk you through selecting a blank and components, building the rod, and finishing your rod. You can custom order individual components to your liking or keep it simple and order a kit with everything you need. We will show you how to do everything from step 1. We have numerous members willing to help run this class so you will be in good hands and will have fun.
CVTU is proudly supported by MudHole Custom Tackle. CVTU members are offered special discounts on all of our supplies and equipment. The first meeting will be on Zoom where we will learn how to select components. After the ordering process is complete, we will get together on a Saturday and do most of the building together. Dates TBD.
You will have the opportunity to purchase your own tools and wrapping equipment with an approximately 50% discount from Mudhole. You can also choose to borrow and return CVTU's rod building equipment if you just want to try it.
CVTU will ask participants for a $25 donation to cover the costs of tools and consumables that will be provided in the class.
