[TIMMY C]

Dude,

There is a whole lot of info you need... start with a search on a couple of books to get you started:

1. The Australian Rod Builder by Ian Miller

2. Advanced Custom Rod Building by Dale Clements

The set up is important too. To have a really good chance of making it enjoyable, get youself a rod lathe.

There are ways to do it using equipment you can build yourself but the proprietary equipment is certainly hassle free.

Do heaps fo research!!!
