OK. So I've decided to try rod building. Since this is the first time I do not want to get myself into deep but on the other hand I have plenty of "cheap" rods and if I'm to put some money and effort into it I might as well get something I can use... After some considerations I think I'm gonna order a kit from Cabelas :

This is a spinning blank - I fly fish and spin fish all the time - on which the Avid rods are based. And I love my Avid. So...
my question is - are these Cabelas kits appropriate for the first time build?
Maybe I should get a blank from someplace else and order different parts/kit?

Any help would be appreciated.

PS. I am stright down to Earth - substance over form on any day guy. If the darn think does not look like a million dollars but it works like milion then I will be quite happy.

Thanks.
