Rod building forum.
I was wondering if there is any chance of adding a "Custom rod building" forum here? We've got a bunch of knowledge here for everything else.
So maybe we could add to the knowledge base by adding another forum.

What'cha folks think?

Re: Rod building forum.
I've built one rod myself, but I have yet to get sufficient use out of it. (7'6" 8/9wt with Tennessee grip and Spinning guides. Anybody wanna sponsor Cliff's first snook trip?)

Also have an old glass rod I need to finish so it can get some use.

I bet a Rod Building forum would get some use.

Re: Rod building forum.
OK.... NAFFF now has its own rod building forum... Click Here

If the activity is high, I will separate the forum into several sub-catagories.

Re: Rod building forum.
Hi Fish Bones,

I posted a thread on the new Rod building Forum and it did not show up on the home page as a new post. Did I screw up or is there a problem with the Forum?

Frank

Re: Rod building forum.
The forum itself is working. However, it is not posting the new posts on the home page. Neither is the Daily Fly Fishing News. That is a problem that I'm trying to figure out.

Thanks, Steve

Re: Rod building forum.
Thank You Steve.
Too bad we couldn't have got this going last fall and Winter, it may not get a ton of traffic until we all get couped up again.

Let's have some fun!!! Thanks again.

Steve, fyshstykr just posted and it did show up as a new post and Email notification was sent. So I guess you fixed it.
