It can be pretty expensive but once you get everything you can build one for alot less than going to academy to buy one. You also get something that you made which is cool.

Default looks good man
Only way to learn is to do it.
I learned I can build a nice rod for 1/2 the price.
Use to mess with G Loomis, Shakri, and Rainshadow blanks.
Kind of leaning toward Castaway blanks swampland tackle sells or cheap blanks FTU sells. Alot of it when I am in the area I save on freight and get everything at one spot.

Looks good great job.
