I have a good friend that builds his own fly rods and I would really like to make one of my own.
I know when it comes to asking the question of "which fly rod should I get?" It really comes down to personal preference and casting a bunch of rods and seeing which one feels best. I don't have too much experience in using different rods (I have always used a St. Croix Avid), so I really need somewhere to start as far as selecting a blank.
I would like to build all purpose rod for streams/rivers and kicking around in my float tube, so probably a 5 wt. Money is always an issue, so I have to take that into consideration.
Thanks
