I'm a fly tyer, but want to build my own rod. Do I have to buy alot of specialized equipment or can I do it by fashioning my own tools. For instance, I have made a fly turner that I can easily convert to a rod turner, can I use a heavy fly bobbin for wraps things like that. I do plan to purchase decent materials for the project, where is a good place for supplies.
I hopt these aren't stupid questions. Any help would be great!
