Idea for building my first custom rod

[TubeDude]

[#0000FF]Personal recommendation would be to go no lighter than a 5 weight rod blank for your intended uses. A 1 or 2 weight fly rod is a novelty...for small streams and small fish. A heavier rod would allow more applications.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Before trying to make your own, you might also take a look at some of the aforementioned crappie rods at [url "https://www.bnmpoles.com/collections/fishing-poles/products/bgjp"]B & M[/url] .[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I am attaching a writeup I put together on "Spinning Flies." Like yourself, I learned how to swing a "fairy wand" in earlier years. But I also pondered on how to effectively present fur and feathers with spinning gear. Over the years I have both invented and learned from others a whole bunch of ways to "Git 'er done".[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Also attaching some info on the basics of rod building. I would be happy to get together with you to help put together the list of components you will need to create the rod of your dreams...and to show you the steps to assembling them when you are ready to rumble.
