Mechanical principles respected, a perfectly assembled tool
First of all, a blank is a sheet of carbon rolled up on itself and glued. Because of its structure, there are hard points that have a direct impact on the work of the blank. Indeed, when we put it under pressure, therefore when casting or during a fight, it will always want to work (bend) in the same direction. This is called the "natural working direction" or "spine". You only have to put a blank in flexion once to see this! So if you assemble your rod yourself, you can be sure that it is assembled in the right direction...
Also, the rings will be bound and varnished at set distances (by yourself or by the largest Fuji ring supplier) and perfectly alignedâeuros¦
A personalized tool
The second advantage is that the rod you assemble will perfectly match your needs (for example the length of the handle according to your morphology or the constraints imposed by your practices) and your tastes.
You can choose the materials (cork, carbon EVA,...), the colors of the ligatures, the rings, the level of finishing, the look... Whether it is fashionable or not!
A technical tool
With the rodbuilding you have the possibility to go into the smallest technical details of a rod to make it the most efficient tool possible for your practices.
You can choose the materials, design a sleek rod to be as light as possible, define a particular ring spacing, even spiral ring placement (the famous "Brazilian" setup) to meet mechanical constraints.
More than a tool, a work
Because beyond the tool your cane is also a beautiful object. You have the possibility to create a unique object... A burr walnut handle, it's possible ! Ligatures of all colors, it is possible ! A gold piece in the heel, it is possible ! Everything is possible... The only limit is your imagination!
You want to change your cane, you can!
The principle of rodbuilding is to assemble accessories to make a rod... But it is also to be able to disassemble them to reassemble them in another way! A heat gun or a hair dryer and you can start a new project!
Riding your rods means progressing
The fact of mounting your rods implies a reflection upstream to conceive your tool. This leads you to think about your way of fishing, your real needs in terms of equipment and the needs imposed by your fishing places and techniques. This reflective approach is a way of progressing that will help you advance in your fishing.
The pleasure of having ridden his cane
Finally, the last advantage of the rodbuilding is to have the pleasure to fish with a tool that you designed and assembled yourself. But also the pleasure of living your passion at home and not only when you are on the water!
