Sometimes reading the steps is helpful, but watching someone actually put the rod together makes it click a lot faster. We put together a quick video that walks you through the whole assembly process from start to finish. It covers everything from connecting the rod sections properly to getting your line through the guides without any headaches. Give it a watch before you head out, and you'll feel a lot more confident when it's time to rig up at the water.
