Is there any way at all to do this online, or will it only be available for those who subscribe?

Only for those who subscribe - they constitute the largest body of rod builders.

Online forms wouldn't be as accurate - you wouldn't have anywhere near as many builders participating and couldn't really control who was participating. No guarantee that they'd all be rod builders. With the magazine, we know the vast majority are.

I think I might have messed up and forgot to renew. I have my daughter moving in and things are totally torn apart and have no idea where my last rodmaker issue is. Anyway you can check and let me know? If I need to re-up can it be done quick enough to not miss any volumes? Thanks.

I understand that completely Tom. A Niche magazine reaches its target audience much easier than some other forms of communication. I have been meaning to get my subscription, but my extra cash has been put back into a couple of almost finished projects. I hope to get my subscription soon, and maybe I can get this as my first issue.

Hi Tom,

How long are you going to wait for the returns to come in? as it takes a couple of month's for the mag to get to me in Oz and i'm sure a lot of people outside the States would participate.
I doubt your return postage will work from here but I can afford a few dollars to send it back.

Tom, I'm guessing this is not just Pro builders but just all hobby and pro?? In any case this sounds like a good plan!!

Yes, everyone. In fact, one of the things we'll try to determine is what percentage of builders are involved just for fun and what percentage are selling rods to the public.

Tom:
If a subscriber were to pay postage to return the questionnaire to you, would that save you that cost? John
