BAMBOO ROD BUILDING CLASSES

Bamboo Class Details 

 

Tom Morgan Rodsmiths will be offering week-long bamboo build classes here at the TMR shop. We will have a max of 4 participants in each and details are outlined below.

COVID UPDATE:

Due to the uncertainty of what Covid will bring as far as travel to MT, we will continue to offer two options for 2021.  There will be six traditional classes offered from March to October with 2-4 participants in each.  The second option is to contact us and schedule a private class with 1-4 people in your group with flexible dates.  

At TMR we are following the state of MT travel guidelines and Governor Bullock's mask mandate.  We're also providing individually packed lunches, sanitizing the shop each night and spacing participants out in the shop at comfortable distances.

Bamboo Rod Building Class Includes:

  • One week build of the bamboo rod of your choice. We will open up Tom's taper book to class participants but can also accommodate other tapers if you bring one along
  • Instruction in the use of the Morgan Handmill from set-up through roughing and finishing. You will start with a raw culm on Wednesday and go home with a finished rod on Tuesday
  • We are using a Wed-Tues build model with three days of building, the weekend to go fish and then two days to finish things up
  • Select and shape your handle, select from our burl wood reel seats, uplock/downlock/slideband hardware, agate stripping guide, Snake Brand bamboo guides and a variety of thread colors
  • Instruction on wrapping the rod and coating wraps
  • All rods come with tube and bag
  • Lunch included each day 
  • 10% discount on the Morgan Hand Mill and accessories for class participants
  • Optional: If you would like to do some fishing over the weekend, we can work with local shops to put together guides for you

Total $2100 - Cost includes instruction, materials, lunch and snacks.  You will be responsible for transportation to Bozeman, lodging and breakfast/dinner.  We will provide a list of lodging and dining options.  Individual private classes offered at $2500
