Hello all,
I was gifted a Gene Edwards 7.5' 4wt bamboo blank. I am planning to build this rod. However, I have only built one rod, a graphite 906, with lots of help. I have serious reservations about my ability to do this blank justice. At the moment I'm wondering if I should do this myself or have someone with a little more experience do it. I really need info from beginnig to finished rod including what types of materials I should be using what color the silk wraps should be traditionally,etc. I wonder if someone could recommend a really good book? I've been looking at Golden witch and found agate stripping guide etc. I'll need to buy everything necessary to build this rod. Please, in your response assume that I know absolutely nothing about this. I am in no hurry to get this done quickly but I do want it to look nice.
Thanks
