rod building

[bwhitty]

Ok, I've never built my own rod but this year would like to give it a try. I'm a rookie so I need some help on where to start and what to look for. I don't fly fish so I'm talking casting poles. I told my wife I will try and make her a pink pole also. (takes a real man to paint a fishing pole pink lol) Are there classes available anywhere? I remember hearing about some people doing some classes with tube dude I think. Any help will be great. Thanks, Brian
