All,
I am looking for a way to better prepare for building a rod. I have quickly learned that a lot of headaches can be avoided with a little more planning. What I was looking to do is use some sort of Spec sheet I could fill out before building a rod. I could use this sheet as a reference to make sure I have all materials and also use it as a reference when talking to people about building a rod for them. I could track guide type, blank information, spinning or caster reel required etc. Maybe even give a copy to the person wanting the rod so they know exactly what the are getting. Does any one use a spec sheet like this or am I getting too detailed? If you do use one, would you mind sharing it? I do not build rods for a business, but people do ask me to build rods for them. I say 'Buy the materials and I will provide the labor.' Thanks for any help, Happy New Year, John Re: Rod Building Spec Sheet

Such a sheet is on the photo page right now - look under my name and photo gallery. It ran in RodMaker some years ago.

Thanks Re: Rod Building Spec Sheet

Mike and/or Andrew
If it's not too much trouble, I'd also like a look at the spec sheet you use. I'm hoping to develop one that can be used on a PDA. Thanks, Andrew Re: Rod Building Spec Sheet

Thank you all for your input, those sheets were exactly what I was looking for. There were even some details I would never even have thought of.
Since everytime I ask a question or for a assistanc I get such prompt and accurate answers, I was wondering if anyone had the winning Texas Lottery numbers for the next couple of weeks? Happy New year and thanks for the help again, John Re: Rod Building Spec Sheet

Just your luck John - I Do! But since I don't want to broadcast them, just send me your ATM card and code so I can pull out some cash to buy your ticket!
Have a good one! Re: Rod Building Spec Sheet

Greetings John (Casisa),
I'm not a pro builder as many of you are , even so, I do use a suite of self-made spreadsheets that are based on MS Excel 2000 or higher; especially for one dealing with flyrod layout. I'll share any of these. In particular, there is 'one' that produces a bill of materials (BOM) suitable for internet ordering; such as ordering from a Custom Tackle, Mudhole, SummerMoon, Anglers, etc. This BOM includes line-item totals & descriptions, and shipping-handling estimate, & final subtotal $'s. For example, its 'format' looks like an everyday invoice. And in that sense it seems to fulfill, your expressed need: "What I was looking to do is use some sort of Spec sheet I could fill out before building a rod. I could use this sheet as a reference to make sure I have all materials and also use it as a reference when talking to people about building a rod for them. I could track guide type, blank information, spinning or caster reel required etc. Maybe even give a copy to the person wanting the rod so they know exactly what the are getting. " The nice thing about this BOM is that it makes a lot fewer 'math' mistakes. So its 'no pain'. And even includes a place to identify the sellers catalog page no. It also helps in calculating design related items of : # 1 Handle design and estimating blank OD at the winding-check # 2 Using # 1 and measurements from the 'targeted spinning reel', calculates the exact distance from the spinning reel-face to the rod tip. I use the latter distance as a 'prime' factor in spinning rod guide layout. Yes, theres, also, a spreadsheet for spinning rod guides layout, as well. Current project: two-pc, 30pound, 9' Tarpon rod for Shimano Stradic 6000. Its 2-pc to get past the airline travel issue. If you have access to Excel 2k, drop me a line, Bob Re: trigger reelseats

Bob,
I'd love to have a copy if you don't mind sharing. I also use an excel spreadsheet, but it sound's as though yours is more advanced than mine. I can also send you a copy of mine if you'd like. Many thanks Andy Woodford Cheers Andy Woodford Re: Rod Building Spec Sheet

Greetings Andy (Woodford),
I'll send Tarpon Rod design data. I'd suggest that you might want to play with this one. The file is 1.4Mb and contains all the supporting spreadsheets (several) for the Tarpon Rod design. If need be, it can be transmitted as a zip file. Please confirm the correct email address to be used for transmittal? Sincerely, Bob Re: Rod Building Spec Sheet

Bob,
If its not too much trouble would you please send me a copy of your spreadsheets too. I am new to building and I'm thinking your spreadsheets will expose things to me that I wouldn't think of and will also allow me to ballpark price an entire build so I don't end up in a runaway project situation. The email address in my profile is valid. Thanks a bunch. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/07/2005 12:00AM by Jeff Jacobi. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
