I have been looking at videos for the last week. This looks like something I can do and would enjoy doing. Just what I need another hobby to spend money on.
How does this look for a kit to get going? Open to all suggestions.

i bought that one and it works just fine for me, you will need a set of dream reamers, for doing the handles, like this https://www.jannsnetcraft.com/rod-bu...551000002.aspx there are a few places that have them. and i got extra size A thread, i like the way A looks better than the D
Ok thank you for the info.
I got mine from get bit. It's the deluxe starter kit for small business. It has the reamers & everything you need to build a rod with the included blank. Now if i could find time to do it. I did get the cork reamed though.
I bought my first kit last year but got the Turnkey kit which gives you all the components to build a rod and the kit above.
I must say that my first rod turned out great and it is very sensitive.
I ended up with an MHX brand med heavy, 7' rod.
Give it a try
