International Rodbuilding challenge
Voor wie graag eens een hengeltje mag bouwen, er vindt een internationale hengelbouw wedstrijd plaats. Inschrijven kan nog tot 15 juni. Hengelbouwers van over de gehele wereld doen mee, incl. ondergetekende. De deelname is gratis, de hengel uiteraard niet.
De blank komt van CTS, en de enige details die bekend zijn, is dat een vierdelige hengel is. Hoe je de hengel bouwt, dat wordt over gelaten aan je eigen creativiteit, zolang je maar minimaal 75% van de hengeldelen gebruikt. Het komt niet aan op extravagante ontwerpen, al zullen die zeker wel in de smaak vallen. Maar er wordt ook beoordeeld op vaardigheden. Een sober gebouwde hengel maakt net zo veel kans om te winnen als een hengel die zeer extravagant gebouwd is.
Hieronder de regels, zoals ze opgesteld zijn. Aanmelden kun je bij Mark Crouse, ook wel bekend als de Munich Rod Man. De man spreekt zowel Duits als Engels.

The cost of the blank is displayed in New Zealand Dollars, in U.S. Dollars it`s about 142.50 plus 30 $ for Shipping as an individual Contestant, the rest of the world the shipping will about 40 Dollars. This is one of the most versatile blanks you will be able to find, so we should have some real crazy builds this year. The rod you built has to contain at least 50 % of the blank you purchased, you can add parts from a different blank or leave a section or 2 away, what ever you want to do.

The Judging: 30% of the Vote is Public choice at the ICRBE 2017 in Winston Salem, NC The other 70 % through the Judges at the ICRBE, the judging will be strictly technical, Here an example: Thread-work 10 points if it is decorative wrap or a Weave or just straight wrap, it better be straight, tight, no crossovers and Fitting to the rest of your work. If you decide to do a weave, you better have it right on. But don`t forget 30 % of your vote is the Public, they will go straight by looks. I will also try every rod on its functionality ( casting, guide placement etc.) The Judges: Stephen Pratt: CTS Karry Batson: Batson Enterprises Tom Kirkman: Rod Maker Magazine Scott Gimbert: Mudhole and MHX Todd Vivian: Mudhole and MHX How to Enter: Contact me via Facebook: Mark Steven Crouse or email: Mscrods@gmail.com or post a message on our Facebook page: 2017 World Rod Building Challenge With these Rules anyone should be able to enter, Thread Artist or not will have the same chance.
