Well, with a little advice from the guys here, I finally managed to finish my first rod build. It's a Cabelas kit, cheap, but it's a pretty nice handling rod considering the price.

I have a feeling i'm going to be spending a lot more money on these in the future. :-/

Ok, send me a bill and I'll ship a rod blank to your address- you'll have to buy components for it and then build it!! ;D

nice looking rod, good job.
