    I posted that I build custom fishing rods on the side. I have had a few people PM me and ask for pictures. Here are a few pictures. All rods pictured are St.Croix rods. 1st picture shows
    a western daimond back rattle snake inlay. Then there are some pictures of wood handles and some thread work. I can post more pictures upon request.

    Thanks for your interest,

    Steve (BroCo Custom Rods)

    Do you custom build fly-rods also? Those rods look well-done. Nice work!

    I have not built a fly rod, but the general steps are the same. I would love to build one. I would be willing to give you a screaming deal on one if you would like me to build you one. I do it because I love it, and just want to learn as much as I can. Thankyou for the comment.

    Those things look like junk, you should give one to me to test out. I prefer medium/heavy action, 6' :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:.

    VERY nice work, man! I've wanted to take a rod building class for a long time, but there is no such thing as free time anymore.

    I'd be more than happy to show anyone how to do it. I'ts easy to get started, and it is not that expensive at 1st. I'm here to tell you though, it's just like my STI, you can't just leave it alone, you allways gotta upgrade. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.

    Maybe we could do like a MNSOC rod building class for anyone that wants to learn.
