Rob I am not sure about the kits, but go for it. Making your own rods has many benefits. I would look for someone to give you some lessons. I had someone show me the ropes years ago and I make all my stuff and rods for others also. I then signed up with rodbuilders workshop, in Kingston, to learn all the fnacy warapping techniques. A one time fee of $150.00 gets you lessons for a lifetime, Smitty's lifetime. He just fought off throat cancer, so he is still at it. I like St. Croix blanks. Have a fly rod I made with one and it the best casting of the bunch.
