Back to choosing a good blank: I'm looking for a 5wt 9foot fast
action fly rod. I want a 4 piece rod.
On suppliers: And if I'm going to build it, I want one-stop shopping
where I can buy a kit or put together a kit with recommendations from
a reliable vender.
Which companies do people recommend as sellers?

Thanks,
Don


My Uncle has built rods for several years, he has used the following outfit
with good luck.

Before you put up the $325.00 for the Sage, you could start with something
like this as a practice rod @ $65.00:

If it turns out decent, give it as a gift to a family member or friend and
build your Sage.
