You can get your drier motor and rod chuck off ebay for cheap.

You can make your own rod wrapper out of scrap wood or even a card board box. You can also use mouse traps for your thread tensioners.

Advice:

1) Do not buy a "kit". Buy the individual components separately.

2) Get a drier motor that turns about 5 - 6 RPMs/minute. And turns both clockwise and counterclockwise.

3) Work in a clean, dust free environment

4) Be patient, and take your time.

5) Do your homework, and read

6) Get a quality blank and components. I really like the MHX blanks.



Its a good feeling to catch fish on a rod that you made!!


Good Luck

This is the exact train of thought I have about this.

Thank you
