Build an ice fishing pole for under $10.00.
.
This project was created as an activity for the Boy Scouts in preparation for our troop's Ice Fishing derby. The graphics, shown on these Instructables steps, were given to each scout as a packet to follow the step by step instructions.
Note: Some steps refer to using a fixture. The construction of the fishing pole can can certainly be build without these fixtures.
Because we were building a large quantity of poles with the Boy Scout troop, some simple fixtures / assembly aids were created to keep the process moving as each scout cycled through the construction stations.
Information on fixtures is included for interest sake, but,again, they are by no means necessary to complete this project.

It was built to help our Boy Scout troop build their own rods. About 30 scouts have used it to build their fishing poles for our 1st annual troop ice fishing derby. Since then, we use it every year to have the new boys build build their own before the outing.
A bit overkill...sure.. but it was fun to build, and it introduces the newbee's to the art of DIY possibilities.
adding the video was cool too!
I know that some people enjoy the heck out of ice fishing,and for them that's great!!
