this is a 9 foot 5 weight fly rod, with a mid arbor reel designed on rhino. It has larger guides to reduce friction on casting and a more heavly tapered handle for a more comfortable grip. to make it a measured out a handle with the correct dimensions and the revolved it 360 degrees, i then filleted the edges to make it softer. For the reel i made two identical disks and spaced them about 3 inches apart. Then i revolved a curve to make the arbor to connect them. Finnaly i polar arrayed a cylnder to use to split a hole for the line to dry. The rod blank was a truncated cone 8'3" long. To make the guides a made a circle and piped it, then copyed and scaled it to make the correct size for variouse locations along the blank.
