Tony hit it on the nose. It certainly can be addictive! I have links to those books he mentioned on my website...look at the "Links" page and it takes you to thier listing on amazon.com. I also have some informative articles posted on my website. The other websites will be very informative, as well.

I also have a Rod Maintenance & Repair DVD that would be helpful as it describes a number of tasks you will be doing when you build your rod. i.e. wrapping guides, applying tip tops, etc. I tried to make it fun, too. They are available at these retailers...www.mudhole.com or fishsticks4u.com. If you don't see them, ask them for it!

Best regards......George
