Russ…I watched your graphite rod building video.  I really enjoyed it.  It was a borrowed copy, so I will need to buy my own 🙂 – Dan D. (USA)

 

An established master with bamboo, Russ Gooding of Golden Witch Technologies, takes the classic bamboo rod building aesthetic and translates it to the modern graphite blank.  This comprehensive guide to building a graphite fly rod focuses on a 7’6″ 4-weight, but the tools and techniques used can be applied to a wide range of rods.  This production goes into great detail on each and every step, using close-up shots, multiple angles, and repetition where needed to ensure that you’ll understand all the methods Russ demonstrates.  The final chapter is devoted to Executing Feather Inlays, a popular decoration for graphite rods!

“Nikki and Russ, Thanks for shipping the instructional video “The Graphite Fly Rod” so quickly. My compliments to Russ and the videographer for doing such an outstanding job on the video. Because of the tips in the video, I feel totally confident in building a graphite rod. Previously, I had viewed many YouTube “how-to” tutorials, but none of them were as complete and precise as yours! Also, thanks for including the beautiful hook keeper surprise as well as the Golden Witch Technology logo stickers along with the video. … Russ’s artistry and knowledge certainly deserve much praise…bravo!  Thanks again,”  – Bob E.
