[cool][blue][size 1]Hey Lloyd, the good news is that there are hundreds of sites...if you plug in "Rod Wrapping", "making fishing rods", rod building, etc. A lot of them are commercial sites, trying to sell completed rods or components. But, they all containe valuable background info and terminologies to help you expand what you already think you know.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]If you have the Cabelas Tackle Craft catalog, the inside front page contains some good basic info, and you can also find hints and help on Jann's Netcraft. There is also [url "http://mudhole.com/"]http://mudhole.com/[/url], and several other sites.[/size][/#0000ff]
[size 1][#0000ff]One site I found that has some good info for beginners is [url "http://www.flyfisherman.com/rodbuilding/"][#800080]http://www.flyfisherman.com/rodbuilding/[/#800080][/url][/#0000ff][/size]
[size 1][#0000ff]It is slanted toward fly rods, but there is much that is basic. You can also visit the Rod Building forum on BFT. I have checked it out from time to time. Not too busy, but some good info there, and some good links.[/#0000ff][/size]
[size 1][#0000ff]Let me know what kind of rod you would like to start with and I can work with you on a step by step basis. Too bad you are so far from Kaysville. Hooked Tackle Shop has had a couple of classes and probably plans to have some more.[/#0000ff][/size]
[size 1][#0000ff]Do some homework when you have a chance and let me know when you are focusing on something in particular.[/#0000ff][/size]
