need some advice

[the nibbler]

Hi just going thru some of the old threads and as a complete noobie i was wondering if there are any workshops happening this year. I live on the central coast nsw but can travel. If there is anyone who may be able to help me get started and offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated

Hey mate,

Best thing you can do is keep an eye out on here, become a member of your local BCF (if one near by) or larger tackle shops. the more you have your ears out the more you will hear about seminars or meet and greet nights. Boat shows generally have stages with guest talkers that are very informative. Also read your fishing mags, some will often let the readers know if there are any event nights.

Here's a few sites to join and read. There's a good library at rodbuilding.org
Go to a library or newsagent and look for any rod building books. Should be some dvd's around also or look at utube under rod building.

When your ready to start grab an old rod and redo some runners for a bit of practise. If you like it then you can buy all the components and build your first.
