Dale P Clemens changed my life. I first purchased Custom Rod Thread Art about 22 years ago. Now retired, I get great pleasure devoting all my spare time fixing and making rods.

A friend recently asked me what skills a rod crafter needs to possess. My reply was, that if I was to make a robot that could build fishing rods, It would need to have the following attributes:

A brain that could store 3D images.
Eyes that work independently.
Be ambidexterious.
At least three fingures and two thumbs on each hand.
The patience of a stalking feline
Most importantely, an ability to laugh when one perhaps should be crying.
