I was on a new ( wish ) Web page recently (( Floating Fly .com ))......... interestingly , Bob Wyatt ((( lately of this Parish ))), Had some very interesting opinions on
His Chum ..... Carl McNeill ..... regarding his Carbon Fibre Rods ; both the " G " & " C"
As the Dollar rises ..... and , the already excessive cost of imports etc etc .....
Any advice of purchasing one of these Kits ? I need a 9' x 5wt. .... Medium fast rod ...... in my youth ..... many years ago ... I ringed many " fibre gals " rods

If it’s a first go and you want a really good rod at the end of it.
These are superb rods/kits

I’ve made a few now and they have all been awesome fishing rods.
