Building your first Fly Rod - Part 4 - Finding the 'Spine'...

[TheRoninelite]

Don't listen to these knuckle heads that say you're talking too much. You're teaching people how to build a nice rod. Besides, good teachers talk alot!

I'm fine with the amount of speaking you did. Things that are obscure and intangible like finding the spine of a rod require explanation in several different ways so that everyone can understand.

You talk too much!

[FlyrodFanatic]

Yes apparently I do. Do you want your money back?

@ozonovo , I did talk a lot on this episode didn't I? Sorry about that.

Other than the size of the broken down rod, allot of people believe a the fewer the pieces - the better the rod will perform. But this is just not true. A 'quality' rod blank will perform properly regardless. So it's really just a matter of casting a few different rods and determining what style of rod fits your casting stroke.

Is there a difference between a 2 section and a 4 section other than personal preference and maybe convenience?? I am new to this and I am trying to learn as much as I can, what better way than by research and building a rod.
