The intention at first was to just build a few rods myself seeing as I could make them however I wanted and no longer had to choose from a store shelf

This is because it gives the bait a very natural look when moving through the water

Next comes a workbench with a vise, and a 1/4 or 3/8 power drill along with a set of drill bits (brad point style is preferred)

Most boat rods are either heavy fiberglass (durable, but minimal feel) or high-modulus carbon (fragile, but sensitive)

You can use a steady retrieve, jig them, or vary your retrieve to elicit a bite

Again, not really, but still better than the exposed jigheads
