GripSeats640

At Elkhorn we are committed to small class size so you receive the full benefit of our knowledgeable instructors. Classes are scheduled for small groups and each class consists of three separate days which allow you to complete the build of your rod. Tools and equipment are available for your use, such as rod wrapping stations and the rod turner for applying the epoxy finish.

The class begins with a session in which you fit a grip and reel seat and assemble the butt section. Next, you learn how to align your rod sections with the spine, mark your rod guide spacing, and make thread wraps to secure the guides. Last, you will mix the epoxy and coat your thread wraps.
