Seems I read a post earlier about someone who was going to buy a bunch of 3 or 4 piece 3 weight kits and teach a class on rod building. I can't find that post and was wondering if ya'll can help me find it.
Thanks Ahead,
Lotech Joe

Are you interested in kits, learning to build a rod, or both or something else?

You must be dreaming about rodbuilding and FAOL at the same time. Or....you could be recalling a post I made recently about teaching a class on 10/27. Most of the participants will be building the Tradition II fly rods from Hook & Hackle, and they are all 4-piece rods.Originally Posted by Lotech
There was also a thread about 3wts recently that I contributed to at: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20778&p=201219&hilit=#p201219
If there's something you need to know specifically, post here or PM me or Dr Bob

That's the one Joe. Thanks. I was offered a 3 weight kit only in a 2 piece for $50. I like the idea of a 4 piece a lot better. And the 7'9" model makes more sense for me than a 9 footer. That kit you're using looks like a pretty nice outfit. If you don't clean them out, I may get one for myself.
Thanks for your help.

They should not be out, because they were receiving a shipment of them last Friday. It's really a nice rod, but you may want to get a spool of different colored thread, unless you like the black thread that comes with the kit (silver thread for tipping as well). The blank is flat charcoal in color, so reds & browns look really nice.Originally Posted by Lotech
