Making a rod: Part 1

Journal Date: December 9th, 2008 | Filed Under: Thoughts and tippets

Even though I have said in the past I have no interest in building a rod,I decided to build a fiberglass rod. It will be a 7′ three weight. Based on recommendation from www.maineflyfish.com forum, I have all the parts to put this together but I was surprised at the cost, a little bit here and a little bit there, adds up. The total for parts were $168 not counting tools needed to build it but a friend will be suppling all that. This is still cheaper than buying one already built. Over the next few weeks I will post pictures of my progress.
