Rod Building | West Coast Rodbuilding Show!!!

finadict · #1 Jul-18-2007, 03:13 PM

A Southern California Rod Building Event for 2008 is coming together very quickly. This event has been talked about between Builders and Manufacturers for several years now. Discussions at the ICAST Show in Las Vegas last week about such an event has changed the dynamics of this from discussion to commitment. Every Rod Component and Blank Manufacturer that this Event was mentioned to said "We're in".

This Event is already looking much larger than any of us had imagined. The vendor list just keeps getting larger as does the list of Seminars given by some of the biggest names in the business. The whole idea here is to promote Custom Rod Building. Not only for Builders, but by inviting the fishing Public to see what makes a Custom different from what they can buy off the shelf. By having all of the Manufacturers as well as many established area builders on hand, we feel that we can greatly increase the desire of many fishermen to either own or build a Custom Rod.

A venue in Anaheim (to be announced soon) has been selected and a tentative date for May 2008 has been set. This information will be made public in the next week or so when the contracts have been signed.

Name That Show Contest!!

In the meantime, Were calling on our BD rodbuilders and freinds... WE NEED YOUR HELP! We've tossed around quite a few names for this event but would like YOUR input before we settle on anything. Something short and catchy that will gain the interest of the fishing public is what we're after. The "contest" winner will receive a pair of lifetime passes for the Event as well as recognition at the Event. We are looking for something that signifies that this is a West Coast regonal event.

As mentioned before, this thing is comming together very quickly, is growing by the day, and is exceeding our expectations already! We need name!

Post your suggestions and stay tuned!

In Anaheim, well then how about the Los Angeles Rodbuilding Show in Anaheim?

This will be great. I am really looking forward to a get together like this. Just think of all the eye candy in one place at one time. We have needed something like this for a very long time. Also a perfect opportunity for fishermen to get an education on what a Custom Rod really is.
