This question is for the Pro rod builders can you purchase rod kits from an Australian stores ive only seen kits available in USA,on www.mudhole.com, Im thinking to get a cheap kit and testing how our go, and if I stuff it up its nothing to cry about and than go to more expensive ones when Im more confident. Lee must say you do impressive work. Ahh do you actually use one of those rod building machines to put the thread on?
