I am looking to try to build a rod (just to see if I can), and like the Mudhole Tackle website.  What Items would you suggest I get to build one rod in the $100 (total) range.  I was planning on building the hand wrapper.  I would also like it to be a spinning rod for dropshot/ shaky head.

MudHole are good folks, and now that Bob McKamey is down there, they will be even better.

If you've never built a rod before, you might consider a kit. Everything you need is in one and takes the guess work out of it. You got plenty to worry about leanring how to put one together already!

Mudhole has a pretty nice selection of kits and starter set ups.

Thanks.  Didn't notice there was all these threads.  Sorry.

No worries and didn't mean to sound short if I did.  That's just a good thread as it has a number of other threads that are each killer and saves you some on the search effort.
