Article: Start to finish - a home rod builders tutorial

Very nice, I may try a rod this winter. I've done one rod but only the guides, a buddy did the reel seat and handle.
 
Nice Gary. let us know how you do and post some pics. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.
 
I've considered it in but have yet to take one on. It would obviously be a build starting with a bamboo blank, but I don't even know where to start looking for a quality blank that won't break the bank......
 
look on eBay that what I did . you can get a basket case fairly cheap. I basically deconstructed the rod to a blank and rebuilt it.

I really enjoyed those posts.

I would like to read about your nets.

You should post pictures of the designs and the work as it progresses.
