Mike, I hear what your sayin about money being an issue. This is what I had in mind. The last couple years I've built on Amtak blanks, these where 7'graphite I use for flukein. For guys who haven't fished amtak's they are light and very durable, I can't break that SOB. I wrapped 4, guys luv them. The blank is about $35 if I'm not mistaken and compontes run approx. $30. There are proably other blanks out there which are in that figure also. Obviously everyones skill level is different, I think in order to keep everyone happy and get more people to swap would be to pair up builders whos work compare.
