Long time ice roamer, first time poster here! I have toyed with the idea of building my own rods for a couple years now and I finally think I am going to pull the trigger. I found a kit on mudhole.com that is decently priced and comes with everything it looks like I would need to get going. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to building your own rods? Is there a better kit out there to buy?
Also, when it comes time to go out and buy all of the accessories, what/where is the best place to buy new blanks and other needed parts?
Thank you all for your insight and looking forward to getting started!
