Hook and Hackle Forecast Rod Building Kit Questions....
Hi everyone, I've decided that I want to take a stab at building my own fly rod. After doing a little research it seems that people really like the hook and hackle blanks. I'm thinking about getting their most inexpensive, Forecast rod building kit that comes with everything i need including a video.
My questions are these....
1. knowing nothing about building a rod can i realistcally build one with this kit and the information i can find on that video and the various websites?
2. I'm thinking about getting the 6'6 2 wt. I want something small for brookie streams and panfish. My question is, do you think i should get the 2 peice or 4 peice for a few dollars more? what would be easier to work with?

1 yes you will be able to build a rod Use foal and you wont even need the video. Get it if you want, I would use the money for tools IMO.
Also if you have any questions ask them on the BB and we can answer you.
2 If you want the 4pc get it. All my rods I built are 4pc their is no different except 2 female feruel wraps which are easy.
building rods is fun and easy
Have fun and post some pictures when your done
