Ok, I've never built my own rod but this year would like to give it a try. I'm a rookie so I need some help on where to start and what to look for. I don't fly fish so I'm talking casting poles. I told my wife I will try and make her a pink pole also. (takes a real man to paint a fishing pole pink lol) Are there classes available anywhere? I remember hearing about some people doing some classes with tube dude I think. Any help will be great. Thanks, Brian

I may be of a little assistance here Brian. TD and Chuck did a great little clinic last year for guys interested in wrapping there own rods. May be if you pm them you might be able to get them to do another. As far as supplies you can look here.

There were a couple others that TD had mentioned I just do not remember them. and why paint it pink when you can just use fancy pink thread and it will look good with the black.
I hope this helps a bit.
