Thanks for the heads up Herb. More than I'm willing to pay as I don't fish the jetty frequently enough to justify the cost. However, I really appreciate the response. Thanks again.

Thank you Norm. The jetty I have started to frequent is surfside in Galveston. It has some descent currents and winds. My buddy uses and 9 ft salmon rod that he used to use up in michigan.

Hello. I was curious if anybody has built a rod for fishing off the jetty. Specially the Gulf of Mexico, TX. Any input is appreciated. I’m thinking that it should be 9’ to 10’ , spinning, and a 2 piece. Ideally it can handle the average of local species... snapper, speckled trout,reds, Spanish mackerel. Any advice on action/ power appreciated, as well as blank manufactures.

Thanks. I was looking at rain shadow earlier. Are they telescopic in the sense that the rod collapses into itself? I have found that telescopic is also used to describe travel rods that come apart. I’m trying to build one that collapses into itself.

Anybody know where to find a collapsible telescopic blank? Haven’t located any. Would love to build one. Only option I see is to cut an existing blank and create my own. Help appreciated.

Roger, thanks for the advice. I will try that. I was at Lowes just prior to seeing the board and purchased some Elmers Wood Glue that is water resistant. I will look for the titebond and go that route. I have a .25 inch mandrel with a collar so I plan on gluing the rings on that. I made a press so now I just need the time.... oh never enough time. :)

12. Cork ring glue
Hello. I am just starting to make my own cork grips. I wanted to get opinions on the best method to glue the rings. I have seen both wood glue and epoxy being used. Does anyone have experience with both methods and if so which do you prefer? Thanks.
