5 REASONS WE'RE BUILDING CUSTOM FISHING RODS

In this video James Patterson and I discuss the top 5 reasons we're building custom fishing rods. We will even do some work on a custom build based on a Rainshadow blank from Batson Enterprises.

That was Fantastic listening to y'all guys really have a lot to bring to the table it would be awesome to see more

[@KentDrumz]

Would love to see more Rod building videos

[@MrJoe281980]

Very nice 👍

[@CreoleCatfishing]

YES!!!! Absolutely I want to see more. Rod building is getting more and more interesting to me!!!

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I could listen to James all day, enjoyed it 👍

[@ermannodibenedetto3064]

Very interesting....and a really good job...ciao from italy

[@catfishkarma1]

Well thanks for turning in from across the pond.

[@catfishwhisperer1064]

I need to try one out 👍👍👍

[@davidransom4476]

Okay, I'm going to let people know I'm an old fart with this post. When I was a kid, my dad built our rods with supplies out of the Herter's catalog. He ordered the tools from Herter's and would get all the parts from them, too. That rod James has looks really nice !!

[@adamballinger1358]

You gotta try an acid or spiral wrap guide layout , ive been wrapping catfish and muskie rods like this for years. It really helps with fatigue on the bigger fish. Do some research and look at big game rods most are becoming this style.

[@papawed489]

If you want to dress up a rod and don't want to mess with the diamond wraps and such look into the marbling. It really easy and no two alike.

[@brockwright5964]

Love my custom cat rods

[@jamesalbaugh9235]

Hey Quinton how about doing some stuff on reel repair and maintenance

[@catfishkarma1]

Because every time I take one apart I end up having to throw in the garbage. 🤣

[@RiverJunkie]

Heck yeah! Rod building content is awesome!

[@jdpgte]

Hell Yeah I want to see more. I started in the 1980s building my own fly rods and still love doing it. I needed custom lengths and weights for fishing the BlueRidge and Smokies, now Im back home in western Arkansas and catfish and crappie are my target species. Great video and cant wait for the next one.

[@catfishkarma1]

👍👍

[@bdubsfishing6941]

Did cuttting that blank make the rod a little more flemsy than original I made 6 rods las year and cut 4 inches off and seemed to weaken it

[@timmolina9569]

Always exited when you post a new video. Man Quinton that rod looks like a piece of antique furniture. Who would use walnut these days?

[@paulfrick8636]

I’d like to get into it. But for different reasons. I’d like to know if you could build a budget rod. Something comparable to catch the fever med action. Would it be worth the time/money to build a set. Or are the cost of materials not worth it ?

[@catfishkarma1]

Not worth it in my opinion. All the typical brands are buying Chinese in bulk. Therefore unless your gonna do the same it wouldn't be comparable.

[@johnadams8082]

No chance you could get better value by building a rod like that yourself. You would spend twice as much trying to build the same rod.

[@brianbloesch8641]

I like mine 7’3 if you want to build it😂. How much does a custom Big Cat bumping rod cost

[@catfishkarma1]

$350-$450

[@miltonthacker1586]

Would it b possible to strip down a store bought rod and redo it !!

[@catfishkarma1]

Definitely

[@jamesalbaugh9235]

Hey just wanted to say hi Quinton

[@catfishkarma1]

👋

[@brianbloesch8641]

What’s the initial investment for rod building

[@catfishkarma1]

$0-$?

[@rivervalleycatfishin8071]

No sound
