Eric said,

Once we get through this hurricane, I will put up a post to see how much interest there is in putting together a rod building group/club. Really doesnt need to be big, but we could get together once in a while to work on a project and compare notes.

So who all would be interested in this? Please list when would be a good time, place, and some ideas for an agenda?

Keith-I can't host it but I'll be glad to help out as best as I can.
Time- Any weekday evening is good for me
Where- Anywhere near or in St Pete ?????
Agenda- (1) Technique (show and tell) (2) Way to save money on purchasing materials.

Well......once we get through Ivan........

Till then, how many would be interested and where do you live? How often do you think? And what night of the week.

I live in Westchase in Tampa.
Every two or three months.
Either Tues or Thurs.

I'm in Sarasota and can meet anytime anywhere.

Let's find out where everyone resides and then pick a place that's a midway point for most folks. I am in Sarasota.

Small group is good but too spread out.....noles I was kind of thinking if there were at least 4 in each area....then we could hold one SOTE and one NOTE. Still waiting to see if some others decide they want to join in.

I would be interested. I live in Indian Rocks Beach area but would be willing to travel some. Any night would be OK with enough notice.

I've got a microwave oven motor and live SOTE. Count me in with Noles and Shamus for the SOTE club. I can't wait to see this hunk of crap microwave turned into a rod drying machine!

I may be interested in getting together.

Probably evry 3 months or so. Otherwise, you could have a garage full of rods. Is that a bad thing?

Anywho. I am out in Riverview.

I am out of this for now.....no way I can put something else into the schedule for the remainder of this year. I may have an interest in '05.

I got into this 2 months late, but if there's interest again in 05, I can make it any night during the week. For now I live in Redington Shores, but may be making a move between now and then.

Hey Bill! Glad to see you on P-F!

Met-up with the fellow former 'redleg' you PM'd at the tourney yesterday. Told him I knew you, and that you were an OK guy.

Glad to fish with you anytime. Lee.

Hi Guys - we talkin' spinning rods or all rods. Novice or expert? I have made a dozen or so, mainly grouper sticks and kingfish rods, but looking to share what little I know...

Rookie novice here

I'm up in New Port Richey and have absolutely no experience with rod building, other than replacing a guide here and there. I'd love to learn.

Novice to beginner.....fly to spin....inshore to offshore. Whatever. But still not in a position to get this off the ground yet...someone else feel free to take the reigns, think it is a great idea.
