    Rod building/repair question?

    I’m wanting to get started repairing and eventually building rods. I’d like for someone to point me in the right direction as far as kits and/or supplies to get started. What do I need and what can I do without? Not looking to spend a fortune but I don’t want junk either.

    As to starter kits for building rods, this has been discussed several times. This is from just recently: http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=911489. Be careful, it can be addicting.
