I BUILT THESE RODS!!! How to build perfect bass rods!!! 

The lighter the rod the more sensitive it's gonna be. The energy travels through the blank better. Great info.

Your family and friends and fans have every reason to be proud of you working hard to accomplish your dreams!!! Never forget what that last stop and those last casts at your James River tournament meant to your results...always fish hard start to finish...look forward to seeing you fish the Classic !!!

That’s so legit man. I wish I had the time and money to learn how to build rods myself

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Kyle. Great stuff! If you ever decided to do giveaways, these rods would be hot items, sorta like a tennis player giving his racquets to fan, something people would love as a keepsake.

Thanks for sharing that. I learned a few things. I just started building rods for myself also. Best wishes for your tournaments.

Half ounce drill bit haha you a true fisherman buddy

I love your story man and I love the new perspective all us young guys are getting on our classic bass fishing deal

Dude I love this Channel, and Im sure I watched you gamble on tv professionally. Im stoked you are a Pro Bass Fisherman. Just a really cool well done channel, thanks a million.

One of these rods will pull in a 10lb bass in FL I'm betting LOL. Glad I got to see that monster up on stage with you today.

Awesome video man, I'm envious of your patience and knowledge of fishing.

Another great vid! Great explanation without over complicating it.

Have you had a brush start coming apart on you yet? The way you are applying the wrapping epoxy you will most likely pull the hairs out of the brush. Other than that you are really producing product so way to go. You can get a cleaner cut in the thread if you hold more tension on it, it will pull the cut end under the overwraps. At this point you probably have built a hundred rods or more and you are perfecting it. Those Point Blank blanks are really good for bass casting rods. Good luck and keep up the work.

Great looking rods....great organization and well conceived...great idea to build a few spares !!! I have been watching your videos and I'm convinced that you have the passion and skills to accomplish your dreams!!! Wishing you tight lines and big bags!!!

first rod building vid ive seen...thanks for sharing! Good luck this season...cant wait to watch all the videos coming

I'll give you some old man advice if you will take it. Use whatever you feel like if the two Port liquid works best for you then use it. Have a good day and keep up the good work

Only way to go when you know what you want. About to get started on my XRAY blanks I got half off!

I can't wait to cheer you on this new adventure, hope one day you will have your on brand of custom rods to sell, you are ahead of the game my man by qualifying for the Elites, Scott Martin is fishing the opens like you were last year!

Great video! Hey Kyle what is a ballpark figure you have in each rod you built? Not counting the equipment to build just blank , cork , reel seat and guides!

Great job on building those rods! I am about to start building rods myself and I live in Alabama. Love to pull in some big spots on Lake Jordan and Martin. Hope my rods turn out as well as yours. I will be retiring from the military, but still pretty young so I want something to help keep me busy. Best of luck to you and hope you whoop some tail in the tournaments you fish. Keep charging forward and keep up the good work! Love the style of rods that you built also.

Awesome video Kyle. I'm learning so much from you. Thank you very much.

Awesome Good luck this year 👍

Nice work. I've heard a lot of guys say that mixing your epoxy on foil gets you some extra working time.

I really wanted to buy a $200 rod just to see how good it was. I wrapped one for $150ish and its great. much rather wrap my own. there's a good spacing tool from acid rods.

My oldest boy wants to make his own rod, thanks for the great video I am subscribing so we can keep up with your work.

Great video!once you build your own your hooked/never buy another off the shelf rod.Really enjoyed this god bless.

Hey man how much does it cost roughly per rod with guides and everything? Thanks your awesome to watch! Learn a lot.

Amazing! How I wish to have one of that kind.

Great vid Kyle and can’t wait to follow you this year bud !!! Good Luck !!

Thats what's up man..getting ready to put in work!

Half Oz drill bit gotta get one of those lmao

You ever try a Winn grip? I have a Winn split grip alps reel seat point blank mh 703 that I'm about to wrap this week . First point blank rod and first time using Winn grips

Hey I really like the video!!! Where do you buy the blanks to build the rod's???

I can tell where your mind is..you said “1/2oz drill bit” lol good luck this year bro!

Hi Kyle, new subscriber here so I apologize if you already did this. In your information section you say that Point Blank is on of your favorite equipment to use. I have been considering getting into rod building and was wondering if you could do a video on why you chose Point Blank. I was looking at using the St Croix SCV modulus as I've been happy with their rods, but if there is something that stands out with Point Blank that makes them a better choice I would love to hear about it and the process you went through in choosing a manufacturer. Thanks for a great video.

What are the blanks that your useing. Great videos

Bagus sekali untuk edukasi bagi yang ingin memulai belajar...

Could you build a fiberglass blank catfish rod in a video that would be super cool if you catfish

What guides do you use on your casting rods? and also what rod dryers do you have? ! want to try and make a rod myself.

Great video!! What point blank blanks do you like best for 1/2 ounce jigs?

Love building my own rods....i keep mine stupid simple as well!! Let us know how the hold up!!

Thanks for posting this. After building a dropshot rod on the Point Blank, can you give a recommendation? I'm looking at the PB701MLF and the PB691MLXF. Can either of these handle regular sized jerkbaits? I do more casting than vertical dropshotting. Thanks!

How much does it cost to put one together?

Appreciate all of the videos Kyle. I was wondering if you could tell me exactly which reel seats, handles and caps you are using? I am actually going to build some rods myself and I notice how you build everything extra light so I'm having a difficult time figuring out exactly which Reel Seats are they lightest and I was hoping you could enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

Did u finally get rid of all your old Ducketts are sell them off but awesome very informative video

Love video if you can do a more in-depth that would be nice

Hey man, great job! Where did you buy those "empty rod's?" I would like to try make one for me and I can share results with you 🍻 👍🏻

Great job do you make rods for people

Great video man! Rods look great! How do they balance tho being so light? Are they tip heavy or do you fix that at the butt?

Great video! What was the brand of blank and where do I order these to get started? Thanks for the help!

Man I want a custom KW rod

Money wise buying or building to you save money ? I know you get what you want when building.

I’m late as all get out but just found the channel but u can tell your mind was on fishing brow win u start using a 1/2 oz drill bit instead of a 1/2” inch bit LMAO but can’t say anything I build GO DEVIL motors every day for GO DEVIL up in Baton Rouge LA the long tails and SD but I manly build the new FNR motor we have so I now how it is main one is win someone instead of use a 12 mm it’s use a 12 ga socket to take something off keep up the good work

Is an SK2 blank related to a K2 blank? What would you compare these 7’3 rods you made to in the production industry

I wouldnt recommend holding the cork with your hand and drilling it... might end your season pretty quick. Lol

Haha I’ll use this half ounce drill bit 😂 tell your a angler

Love the info and the step by step , some rod companies are making longer than I like butts any recommendation for cutting the blank to shorten the butt length, high speed dremel ?

Cool video, is there anything you can’t do when it comes to fishing? I called it on the wrap and walk through, you just didn’t acknowledge it. 👮‍♀️

What blanks are you using to build your rods, I might have missed that and if anyone else caught that feel free to chime in.

How much does each rod cost for you?

Where do you get your rod blanks, parts, and building supplies

Where did you get your blanks at? I’m lookin into makin rods and to get the best bang for my buck.

Hey man what brand blanks do you use? I fish with the Highschool bass nation and I am Thinking about getting into rod building.

Hey Kyle, I just found your channel and glad I did. If you can let me know where you get your blanks and materials. I’m retired now and wanna build myself a couple of rods to start out and I’ve been looking at NorthForkComposites out of Washington State and owned by Gary Loomis. I really would appreciate any direction you could give me on materials. Best of Success this 2020 Season 🍀🎣🔨💯

Where do you get the rod

Those rods are awesome are you using micro or standard line guide's

Where did you get your soft plastic storage bags with zipper?

Built or assembled? I'm looking to build one from scratch.

How are the actions on the rods. Looking for something that is stout backbone but softer tip for A Rigs and 4.8 and 5.8 keitechs using 1/2 and 3/4 oz swimbait jig heads. Any recommendations?

Have you any input on finding the spine?

Looking good awesome like always what blanks you using ?

Badass man!!

Nice

Is that hook keeper not facing the wrong way?

i was getting ready to order parts for a build, how do ya know if the cork handle will fit into the real seat ? are they all standard sizing?

Good to know!

Can’t freaking wait! What does it cost to build those rods?

Any discounts on point blank rod blanks .

Sick!

I swear I can see You shaking like a race horse standing in the chute. Its so obvious You are ready to hit the elite tour. Attack and do not look back. Best of luck this year.

You should do a rod give away

Would you sell a couple a frog and a chatterbait rod ???

Where did you buy your rod blanks from?

How much did it cost just to build one? If I buy a rod from you can you sign it?
