Split cane blank/kit
Forums:
GFF'ers,
I'm thinking about building a split cane rod from a blank, and have been scooting around to find something to start on.
I have found several possible sources, but don't want to spend a fortune. I'm not a routined rod builder (I built ONE rod in my time, and it was miserable!), so I want to start modestly and just see how it works. UK blanks are available from about 60-70 ã and kits from about 100 ã. This is about what I plan on offering.
Anybody have any experience with such blanks or kits?
Any recommendations?
Martin
PS: I will of course make an article on the whole process.

Maybe it will be useful for You..
Also in this forum I think You will find help http://www.rodbuildingforum.com/ :wink:
Hi Martin,
Hi Martin,
I've never seen a cane rod build from a kit, but there is a guy here in Bremen, (Rolf Baginski), who has offered weekend courses in the past, to build a cane rod from spliting the bambo, to putting epoxy on the wraps. A friend took part in the course last year, and although he had no experience in rod building, build a very nice, useable rod over the weekend.
Here is his homepage if you are interested: http://www.baginski-fly-rods.com/index.html
Take care
Paul

I have been searching the web and my best bet for an inexpensive kit is British [url=http://www.norman-agutters.com/index.htm]Norman-Agutters[/url]. They have blanks from 65ã and kits with cork, rings, ferrules and everything from about 110ã. That seems like a price range where I can afford to experiment with cane rod building.

Something to strive for
Hi Martin, and all others interested in rodbuilding.
Check out the rods from J.D. Wagner:

The quality of the work layn down in these rods is simply astonishing and truly something to strive for in building rods. I particularly like the rods where the continued cane make up the handle, and the once with ebony inlay in front of the handle.
