I''m wanting to build a fly rod. For a long time now I've been wanting to build a 7 1/2', 4 piece, 5 weight. I like the Batson RX7 blank and a Venerri reel seat. The best price I can come up with is $160+, and I'm feeling pressure from myself to buy the components. However, I'm feeling pressure from responsible stewardship of funds to spend less than $100. My question is; Does anyone know where I can buy a kit like the affore mentioned for less than the $100 limit? I know this is a tough one, but something must be on sale somewhere. I just can't find it. I guess I'm trying to build my own Super Fine Trout Bum for cheap. Any help out there?
Thanks Ahead!
