okay here is my situation. i am in the market for a new fly rod like what i see but i am looking in the cabelas magazine and you can buy blanks and a kit for rather cheaper then buying the rod. i guess i have few questions.

1. do i need any special tools?
2. they come with "directions" it says will they be helpful enough?
3. is it going to be a mess to were i just waste money because its my first and i will have a little idea of what to do properly?

any information would be great!
