They start around 100. I'm getting a 7' MH to pair with my calcutta. It's gonna be purple and gold with my name on it. Pretty simple.

I wanted to get a calcutta d, but I just couldn't bring myself to drop $350 on a reel.

I agree. I love them.

Not at all hard. There is a bit of a learning curve but it isn't bad. My first isn't pretty but works really well.

Can you recommend a few sites to look around on for parts and pieces?
Posted on 4/18/13 at 8:15 pm to bbvdd
where'd you learn how to do it? the inter web?
Posted on 4/18/13 at 8:16 pm to Mike Rotchsmells

The place that I bought all my stuff from was bought by Mud hole custom rods. They have a really good site.
Cabelas and bass pro have stuff as well.
There wasn't much Internet when I was learning. I had this book:

With $100-200 worth of equipment you can build the really easily. I have one salt water fly rod that has all titanium components. It's amazing.

I've seen two blow up on hook sets. My brother has broke (i think) 3
Posted on 4/18/13 at 8:29 pm to Mike Rotchsmells
Not really sure. 50+ I'm guessing. I have probably 25-30 or so in fly rods, casting and spinning and made a bunch for friends.

i broke one when i fell on it when in a canoe. no rod would've stood a chance. besides that they've been fine for me so far
