I don’t make any claims to being an expert rod builder, but I have built or refurbished a few rods. Some were graphite, some bamboo and at least one or two that were fiberglass. My knowledge of rod building came primarily from trial and error. I do, however, have to give credit where credit is due. One of those credits would have to go to a book I bought sometime in the 70’s. "DO IT YOURSELF ROD BUILDING" by Bill Stinson was instrumental in my education. Most of the credit though is due to Al Campbell, who wrote a tutorial on rod building for another website,
www.flyanglersonline.com . That website specializes in fly fishing only, but the basics of rod building are the same. I thank
