[Elecraft] fishing rod blanks

[wa2dkg at juno.com]

Most fishing tackle stores sell fishing rod blanks for those who build
their own rods...Long blanks can be a challenge to transport...Fishing
rod ferrules in a wide variety of sizes, and ferrule cement can be bought
at these tackle stores and the blank can be cut and ferruled...They also
sell surf fisherman's sand spikes which is nothing more than a tube with
a point on it that can be pushed down into the sand...The fishing rod is
then inserted into the tube..Cabella used to sell fishing rod blanks and
rod building supplies...I don't know if they still do...
