Work is continuing on the hollow-built switch rod.\u00a0 The next step was to glue on and fit the ferrules.\u00a0 There is a #20 ferrule on the Butt\/Mid Sections and a #14 ferrule on the Mid\/Tip sections.<\/p>\n

\"Fitted<\/a><\/p>\n

Then it was time to layout the grip and reel seat on the butt section.<\/p>\n

\"Grip<\/a>

Grip Section Layout<\/p><\/div>\n

The butt section needed to be turned down on the lathe to accommodate the reel seat and lower grip.<\/p>\n

The Butt Section was now ready for the upper cork to get glued on.<\/p>\n

\"Cork<\/a>

Cork for upper grip.<\/p><\/div>\n

A little sidetrack…I needed to turn a reel seat and butt cap on my wood lathe.\u00a0 I chose a new piece of highly figured English Walnut.<\/p>\n

Now it was time to sand down the upper cork grip, glue on the reel seat and hardware, glue on the lower cork grip and sand it, and finally glue on the butt cap.\u00a0 This resulting finished grip section of the rod came out looking great.<\/p>\n

The next Chapter of my build process\u00a0is making a custom winding check,\u00a0wrapping the guides, varnishing, and final finish work.\u00a0 I’ll share that in Chapter 3.<\/p>\n
