wow 400 i think last i priced a good rod building kit was 150 max for like a 10 weight that was a fast action rod at the hook and hackle company website hookhack.com. if intreseted in doing it i can hlep ya geter done. all you realy need is a card board box a flyting bobbin and a rod drying motor. to fish a rod toal cost total on top of the kit is around 25 buck 10-12 for the motor and 3.99 for the bobbin card borad box equals free. and a 4 oz kit of thread master rod finish. then it's just finding the spine and space the guides after honeing the guide feet. hold guides on with a pieces of masking tape cut 1/4 inch wide. on one side of the snake guides and wrap the other from the bobbin stuck in a hole threw the crad board box . rod sitts in two knotches they give a 10 % discount at hookhack.com keep that in mind. just a tip :p then pic up a good reel for the rod worth around 250 lol's then you got a good set up btw for a crystal clear finish i heat the rod finsh with a hair dryier.for like ten minutes to get all the micro bubble's out.
