Tutorials
A good build starts with good gear!
Before diving into the tutorials, you'll need the right equipment. We've put together three packs suited to every level and every budget. The Starter Pack is the ideal solution to get started without breaking the bank: note that it doesn't include a wrapping jig or a binder — but don't worry, a blog article is available to guide you through making your own at home. The Medium Pack builds on this same base by adding reamers and a mandrel, tools that will make all the difference in the precision of your builds. Finally, the Premium Pack is the all-in-one, ready-to-go pack: no extra DIY needed, everything is there for you to start building your rods right away.
Our video tutorial series
To guide you step by step through building your first rod, we've created a complete video tutorial series, designed for beginners and for those looking to refine their technique alike. From theory to hands-on steps, every key stage of the build is covered in detail: choosing your blank, finding its spine, mounting the handle, positioning the guides, making a thread wrap, and finally varnishing it. By following these videos in order, you'll have everything you need to carry out your project from A to Z, with method and confidence.
A first project to get the hang of the techniques
To get started without breaking the bank, the Pack SB 604-1 SM is the ideal solution for a first build project. At under €185, this complete pack includes the blank, an EVA handle, and stainless steel Fuji guides — everything you need to build a rod from A to Z, with a simple, accessible build. It's a great way to put the techniques from the tutorials into practice, without the hassle and without blowing your budget. A successful first build is often the start of a long-lasting passion.
