Our rod building seminars are taught by Mark
Drummond and Jim Bernstein. They have a combined experience of over 45 years of rod building and have been instructing at our shop for the past 10 years. At one time, Mark built rods
for Joe Sterling's fly shop in Danforth, Maine.
During this seminar students will learn all of the proper techniques for building a custom rod. Some of the techniques taught will be: selecting the right blank and components, splining blanks,
attaching tip-tops, thread wrapping, cork drilling and gluing, filing guide feet, signing rods, applying finish, and attaching reel seats. Cork grips will be made by gluing multiple cork rings together and
then shaping on a lathe so that it comfortably fits your hand. Past students have expressed that this was the most satisfying part of building a custom fly rod.
