Just checking in to say hi. I'm concocting some ideas to screw up some existing rods and start building some new ones to abuse up as well, and found this site. Great readership and wealth of information here. Thank you everybody for contributing. . .what a great resource. If I ever learn anything of value I'll try to contribute and stop lurking. Thanks again,

Brian

Brian, I've learned more on this site than I thought there was to learn. I still learn each and every time I come here. Mostly I learn how little I really know and how much more there is to learn about rod building. The more I learn the less I know. Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.

Welcome, Brian.

Come to the Show, if you can. You'll learn more in a few days than you will ever believe. But there's always someone here to help, and unlike me, a lot of them really know what they're doing.
