Thanks Mike, I thought I would start with something simple for the first few rods and then I might try to pick up the pace.

Jeff,
If you have access to some scrap fishing rods you can experiment with thread wraps and finishing technique quite a bit even before you build out that first rod. Instead of getting to your fourth rod and look back to view your development, view others' work and develop something you'll love right there on your first rod.
