A Little Essay on Grumpy Old Rod Builders

I often wondered why some of the older rod builders I new were so grumpy. One only as to look at the picture of Pinky Gillum in Martin Keanes book to see a classic grumpy looking rod builder.. By building I found out why. Often things don’t go quite right. You almost get a rod finished and something unforeseen happens and you have to start over. My friend Marty says your mistakes make good kindling. A lot of hard work is burnt up after many hours of work. Glenn tells me in his zen-like way that failures are a opportunity to learn. So the rigors of rod building do not suit everybody’s personality.

Another small point in rod building is the matter of choice. Rod builders go to a lot of effort to make a rod that will cast and feel just right. He has the right to feel proud of his creation and marks it proudly in the distinctive way he finishes his rod. To ask a builder to make changes to his masterpiece can often put him over the edge after a long day of challenging work. For this reason, I have a few choices available but not a lot. If you are going to purchase a Riverwatch Bamboo rod it will have the look of one.
