RE: [VFB] Hook and hackle

[Marcus Harton]

I did some looking around online and found nothing that topped the FAOL 
how-to series. I printed the whole thing out, used a hole puncher on it, and 
put it in a notebook. I use it whenever I take on a new rod project. I don't 
do them often enough to rely on memory.

they have the sale all the time so I am not worried about that.  I am 
reading the tutorial on faol about building rods, anyone have any other 
resources they would recommend?
