Anyone have any info on anyone or any place that does rod building classes?  Softwater or hardwater rods, makes no nevermind to me.  Preferably in Minnesota, but may consider neighboring states.   Thank you.   :fishing:

Thorne Brothers in Blaine make custom rods, and I believe they have classes. Call to verify.....

They have a rod building class at the school here every spring.  A night thing for 3 or 4 nights.  You buy your own blanks and they show you how to do it.  I thought it was fun and made what is my favorite rod.  I'm thinking I would like to make a couple ice fishing rods now.  So maybe some school around you has a class at night.....  Or there is probably some videos on it.  Not to tough.  The guy that teaches here buys every grill rotisserie motor he sees at garage sales.  That makes the perfect turner while your epoxy dries...  That is really the big thing is to have something to keep it turning....
