Everyone has seen them. Those hand wrapped beauties in the rod holders just begging to be handled. A snakeskin butt wrap glis-tens in the sun. Custom made rods: who wouldn’t give just about anything to have one.
In my early � shing days, a loose thread on a guide wrap getting caught in my line frustrated me so badly I tried to re-wrap the guide. After several attempts I actually got pretty good at it.
That gave me the urge some years back to build a rod of my own. It was before all of the components were available to make building a rod easy. I literally hand wrapped the � rst one, with a spool of thread coming through the pages of a heavy book for tension and a rod blank in my lap. I knew nothing about backbones or splines. Had no idea where the guides should be placed or why a wrap should be clockwise in once instance and counterclockwise in another. But wrap one I did, and you know, I actually caught � sh on it.
Over the next couple of years I purchased several rod building instruction books and learned the theories and rules behind good rod construction. I built a number of rods for myself back then. Components were reasonably priced and the rod was not that much more expensive than comparable commercially built rods. The di� erence was the pride factor.
I even began to get some requests to build rods for friends. One Christmas all of the guys chipped in and paid me to build a matched pair of heavy spin rods for the boss. It was time consuming, but fun building them. I � gured I might be able to make some money at this! Let me tell you about work versus fun. Sometimes what you like to do can become a real burden when you suddenly have to do it. Rod building had became a real burden. Everything was manual (the great wrapping blocks we now use were nonexistent). I was spending � ve hours building one rod, and selling it for $20 more than the parts. That’s $4 an hour folks! It didn’t take much of that for me to revert back to “fun” building.
I still mess with building rods every now and then. It’s good stress therapy. I even came up with my own snake skin pattern for my butt wraps. But mostly now I simply put my own butt wraps on store bought rods. Even at wholesale discount prices for parts, I can’t approach the price for these store rods, and most are really well built.
There are a lot of places to get quality parts for building your own rod. Lots of them are on the internet. Try building one for yourself. Start by re-wrapping the guides on an “old but good” rod. Perfect your wrapping skill there and take on a whole rod. Even if you don’t want to get that involved, it’s really nice to have people look at the butt wrap on your rods and drool!!

Nautical Christmas Gifts
Nautical gifts aren’t just for sailors and boaters — many people who live by the sea (or wish they lived by the sea!) have beautifully decorated their homes with an assortment of nautical home decor — items that remind them of sailing and the culture of brave mariners and fishermen who once dominated the coastlines. Shiny bronze instruments look like mysterious relics from a forgotten era, while antique nautical charts and vintage prints hint of adventures in faraway lands.
For sailors and boaters and other fans of the marine environment, nautical items are much more than functional objects; they also provide a constant reminder of one’s passion for the sea, and the one-of-a-kind experiences they’ve shared there.
Choosing a Nautical Christmas Gift
Finding the perfect nautical Christmas gift is not always easy. There are an amazing array of nautical-themed gifts available, ranging from highly practical boating gear like GPS devices,
safety equipment, or weather instruments, all the way to purely decorative nautical Christmas gifts like glass buoys, nautical charts, or vintage nautical goods.
Fortunately, if you follow our advice, choosing the perfect nautical Christmas gift is as easy as 1-2-3:
1. Does the recipient decorate their home with nautical-themed items? I’ve found people with nautical home decor enjoy evoking the traditional spirit of sailing and seamanship, so look for vintage or antique items, handcrafted artisanal pieces, and purely decorative nautical gifts. Anything that evokes sea or mariners is generally a good bet for such people, so you have a lot of choices!
2. Do they own a boat? Then you’re in luck! As in boat owner will tell you, boats are constantly in need of maintenance– replacing this, upgrading that — boat owners love to tinker, and for most of them their boat is as much a source of pride as it is a means of transportation. Any nautical christmas gift which helps them improve or repair their boat will be much appreciated!
3. Do they practice any water sports, like sailing, kayaking, fishing, canoeing, diving, water skiing, etc? Boating sports are very gear-intensive, so a great Christmas gift idea might be the latest gadget or equipment they need to further enjoy their passion. If you’re not familiar with the sport, no problem: see my lists of recommended gifts for each of these boating sports for some ideas of what the true water sports aficionados are into these days!
Nautical Christmas Gifts
Ship’s WheelNothing evokes the seafaring days of yore like a wooden ship’s wheel. Alas, you won’t find many of these in use on today’s modern yacht, but the craftsmanship and aesthetic balance of an authentic solid hardwood ship’s wheel is sure to bring joy to the heart of the true mariner.
Nautical BookendsThis is an amazing deal on a very unique and fun decorative nautical gift. Even if you’re buying for someone who has every bit of boating gadgetry available, it’s unlikely they’ll have this. Subtle and elegant, it’s perfect for holding together that collection of sailing books!
Antique style Desk GlobeA globe means different things to different people. For a high school student, it might suggest the monotony of memorizing national capitols. But for a seafarer, a globe is the physical embodiment of the world waiting to be explored. With the touch of a finger, a sailor can retrace routes of adventures yet-to-be, and discover new paths between exotic destinations. A cool antique style globe like this one
from Lenox also makes for a great decorative piece, and since it’s Lenox, you know that it’s going to maintain its quality for years to come!
Galileo Thermometer and BarometerMy dad (a sailor, of course) had one of these thermometers perched on the mantelpiece, where with the rise and fall of colored balls, it would magically predict the temperature. Not just fun for kids, this very traditional weather station makes a great nautical Christmas gift for anyone who appreciates science and enjoys the
beauty of a precision instrument that still works as well today as it did 400 years ago when Galileo invented it.

Bomber Who Dat Spoon Who Dat gonna put dem fish in da boat! Born out of necessity in the marshes of south Louisiana where shallow mudflats require long casts and a shallow-running lure, the Who Dat Spoon produces the most bone-jarring, tooth-rattling hits you can get outside of getting sacked by a 400-pound defensive tackle. Designed for super-long casts and the ability to ride high in the water column, this innovative spoon is perfect for all kinds of gamefish in salt and fresh water. Dual-pitch rattles produce both high- and low-pitches and the weed guard (that actually works!) doubles as an additional strike enhancer (as if it needed more!). Like every Bomber Saltwater Grade lure, the Who Dat is “Built To Dominate” with saltwater tough hooks, stunning colors and superior finishes. The Who Dat can’t be beat!
