Common Cents System: are you experienced?

Some members of our fly fishing club have expressed interest in the Common Cents System, ie, what it is, how it works, etc. I'm looking for someone with knowledge and practical experience with CCS, most particularly with fly rods and blanks, for a program and/or demonstration to our club. We are located in south Louisiana. Preference would be to someone who might bring apparatus to help members measure their blanks or rods as part of the demonstration, or to help someone in our club setup such apparatus in advance of the presentation.

Please email me at catch@laflyfish.com for details.

You don't really need any apparatus. A tape measure and a few dozen pennies minted after 1996 is about it. You do need the actual compilation of articles. You can obtain that for just $4 from:

RodMaker
PO Box 1322
High Point, NC 27261

You can certainly do this yourself. Part of the beauty of the system is that it's not only highly accurate, but easy enough that almost anyone can do it.
