Aptly put Dan, just another thing to put on my want list. I WANT to learn how to build rods. :Building flies is a big enough challenge for me just now. Been messing around with foam today. Tied my first Morrisfoam Mayfly Dun just now and a couple of Skip's Predator's earlier. Course to build rods I'd NEED more stuff :-)
