Rod-building which is also part of the fishing hobby can be really fun and addictive. The sense of achievement when the end product completed is priceless and angler's can make use of it's skill to design and built a fishing rod for his type or style of fishing. Besides, when one had landed a fishing with his own customize fishing rod, the feeling is absolutely wonderful. Since, i have some wooden blank from my old ikea furniture, i decided to DIY a Rod wrapping tool before i started to build my own fishing rod. As i'm more on light offshore fishing, my first self-customized fishing rod will be a PE1-2 rod to match my Abu 6000C multiplier.
Below are the Rod Wrapping Tool bench which i spent nearly 8 hours working on it. Although its not as nice as those that are sold in the tackleshop, but its my own masterpiece and i like it a lot :P
