I got a letter from HRM Customs and Revenue last week telling me that I was due an income tax refund from '05/'06. Win! So I've been let off the chain a little and now have several hundred dollars to spend. Second Win!
Enter the problem...
I'd really like a nice piece of graphite for fishing max 3/8oz plastics. I don't really fish in the estuary very often and spend most of my time on the blue. Enter surf launches and I don't know that it'd be the best investment. But I still want one. So I'm kind of tempted to try and build one so that I can get maximum value from it. But I have no real idea where to start... Does someone want to make some suggestions?
This will be my first build - hence I have nothing in the way of gear. Where do I start? What do I need? Can someone suggest a good/great blank? I've got max around $300 to burn for the entire project and a pocket with a hole in it.
