The saying goes something like this - give a man a fish and you've fed him for a meal. Teach a man to fish and you've fed him for a lifetime.
Well, I've got another one: Pay the money to purchase everything to build a high-end, custom fly rod, and you've spent a month's worth of food money. You better be able to catch some fish when you're done building that rod, or you'll be very hungry. As snow is falling here, I think I'll be losing some weight. n the plus side, I am going to have a sweet fly rod.
The rod, when completed, will be worth about $750 It cost me half that to purchase the materials. This rod has to look good when it's done, or I'll be a very unhappy guy.
Funny, my Step-father used to love Winston. His was made from tobaco and paper. I thing Winston is tops, but mine is made from carbon fiber, resin, steel, boron, epoxy, and silk. It won't taste very good. But it will still bring pleasure.
Buck, what a project that would be to do with your boy.
