My name is Chris Stanton. I have been building ice rods for a number of years. I currently wrap rods for one of the three main custom rod building companies in the Minnesota metro area. I am also a MudHole Field Staff Member and the creator to Wrap Designer software. I have a handful of rods that were built for customers but were never picked up from me for many reasons like (ran out of money to pay the remainder, moved last minute or went to jail or something like that). Anyways, I’ll pass on the savings to you guys!! Attached below will be some pictures of my work, some of the rods are for sale and some are already sold. I am currently out of town for my day job and can update my inventory when I get back. You can also check out my YouTube channel below for a better idea of what i produce. All rods are build on DH blanks, use DH guides or recoil guides and will have either my one off 3D printed handles or DH’s cork gips.
Thanks IDO!!!
NOTE – Wrap Designer is software that I wrote to help solve an issue I had with explaining the outcome of how a customers rod might look visually. Honestly, it blew up and I’ve been contacted but many to buy the software from me. I had posted an “add” in the ice fishing section for the software and mentioned that i was going to keep it free. I’m not quite sure when the sale is going down but if you are a rod builder and would would like to continue to us it, please contact me so i can help you out before i cannot legally.
