Another question: When I put my first rod together, I used a cardboard box and a fly tying bobin. I learned how to make wraps from a couple of websites and the instructions that came with the kit. I spined the rod and placed the guides with masking tape. The wraps turned out pretty good I think. I applied the flex coat according to the instructions and did the quarter turn per 15 minute deal to dry it evenly. My question for you rod builders out there is am I missing something? Would my rod have turned out noticeably better if I had all the cool stuff I've seen in the rod building equipment sections on websites and catalougs? Any thoughts are welcome. (Some of you elitist snobs are probably thinkin I'm pretty ghetto right about now[
