ROD BUILDING WORKSHOP

GOLDEN GATE ANGLING AND CASTING CLUB


One GGACC rod building workshop is being offered this fall for current
club members consisting of six meetings, held at the clubhouse one
evening a week over the course of nine weeks.  Meetings will be held
from 6pm to 8pm on Wednesday.  Each meeting will cover different
aspects of rod building and you'll apply what you learn to the rod
blank you're building at that meeting and at home between meetings.

Topics include:  choosing a rod blank and components; assembling and
gluing up real seats, aligning rod sections, constructing cork grips,
preparing and wrapping guides, and coating guide thread wraps.

Participants must supply a graphite or fiberglass rod blank, reel
seat, cork, guides, thread, thread finish and some simple tools (razor
blade,masking tape, glue, etc.)  This workshop is geared toward
building fiberglass and graphite fly rods only, from all new
materials.  Rod repair or rod reconditioning services are not offered
here.  The club supplies rod wrapping jigs and rod drying motor that
you will take home between meetings.

The first workshop will begin on October 2nd.  There is a $35.00 fee
for participation in this course.

Online enrollment will begin at 6 pm on September 12th on the events
Calendar at www.ggacc.org.  This class can accommodate only six spaces
and fills up quickly.
