Rod building classes in the Metro?

[magic_minnow]

Anyone know of any in the twin cities metro? Looking to start, but I can't drive too far out of the cities. Thanks!

Both Thorne Bros and Mid West Rod and Reel offer Rod Building classes in the area. And both are site sponsors.

Thorne Bros. for sure. It isn't really a class. Lonnie, Scott, Mike will help you pick out your blank , after listening to what type of fishing/applications you use. They will then take you (one on one) step by step on completing your rod. It's a blast!!!

Hastings Community Education has a class run by Gary Wick. Not sure when the next one will be held, but might be worth looking into.

If I can find any more info I'll post for you.

I can recomend Thorne Bros. It's basically a one on one situation. They are by far the best in town.

I will have to give Bill & Al at Midwest Rod & Reel two thumbs up when it comes to their classes.

Here's a link to the one through Hastings Community Education. Scroll down a little from the top of the page and you'll see it.

I learned from Gary Wicks as well. Great teacher. Will teach from his home as well.
