Relax. While there are a great many things to learn, the basics are pretty simple. In fact, many children have been taught to build fishing rods, and do it very well.

This tutorial will take you, step by step, through the process of building your own rod.

Take your time, enjoy yourself, and don't be afraid to ask questions if you have any. You'll reap the rewards when you catch your first fish with a rod you've made yourself. There's nothing like it!
