I am looking to make my own fly rod this next month, to use during the upcoming year. The question I have is about rod pieces.
For those of you fellow Utahns whom have made your own fly rods: I am looking to make a 5 wt, 8'6" rod.
1) I see poles from 2-7 pieces, that it can break down into?
2) Is there a benefit to more pieces?
3) I will be making my own Reel seat and handle. I would like a dark green rod to accent the wood and stain I have chosen. Any suggestions on blanks?
Please pardon the "newbie" questions. I would just like the advice of those more experienced then I.
