Started for real with a cheap 6 ft spinner that my mother amputated in the rear window and I fixed with a ferrule. Got a Fenwick PLS65 to replace it next Xmas (God, was I thrilled).......then, when I graduated from high school, I got an original 6.5 foot Fenwick graphite blank and built my own. At the time (1973) I think it may have cost $75, and they hadn't yet brought out production graphite rods (at least that I knew of). Still have and use it.
