Emily is 7 and learning to cast down in NC - and recently spent some time with her grandpa making rod #1…

Looking good K7zb!! Your friend not the rod…you know I’m kidding.
Lovely little girl and a fine first bamboo rod.
Please post the finished rod when you can.
North Carolina is a fine place to learn to cast!!
the rod looks very nice, I would like to build one some day,

Bobbyg and Eric,
Thanks for the comments… this has been an amazing journey.
Eric - having gotten this far (a long way to go yet) I think hooking up with a good instructor or at least someone who can show you the ropes is essential. Trying to do this alone would be a challenge unless you are exceptionally well-skilled in handling tools like these.
I am really eager to see this rod through to the end and start casting it to see what it will do!
Bob
