I'm building the 5wt just now, seems like a nice enough set of blanks, try Tackle discounts lots of free gear advertised there I have a flex tec advertised at 100% discount,   caboc mhor

I have read a good bit about Temple Fork Outfitter blanks and they have a great reputation
what price are they selling the rod for Graham?

[FLYGUY.]

just had a look and if you buy it and don't like it you can return it within 30 days for a refund, I guess all you will pay is postage if you don't like it

Steve as you probably noticed it cost 100, im giving it serious consideration

[Broontroot]

Just went through the buying process, and encountered £10 shipping. i think that is rather expensive. its put me off buying the rod. i know that should i send any parcels down south from the PO its nothing like £10 inc rods
Im not a miserable bugger but i like VFM

ouch that does seem expensive

I posted a rod today, in a cheap bit of plastic tube, recorded delivery and 1st class. It cost me £3.25.

£10 seems OTT.

I posted a 2 peice rod in a rod tube last week 1st class for £4.96

I always cancel an order if I get to checkout and find that the seller is trying to make profit from the postage!

Yup leaves a bad taste.

Gav pm me yer address as i've a wee donation for PEAC to send so you can raffle off (aiming for aboot 30 mixed flees dries, wets, nymphs, mini mudds, hogs, hoppers, emergers, spiders, bobs n snatchers etc all tied by me of course.  Thought this would bring in more than a wee donation on top o my fees (which will come along wi the flees if you could pass onto Iain please?)
Thought it best to send to you as if they went tae a different member (he of the permit fame) i would imagine it would be a case of cash made it but postie mustve pinched the flees.

Cheers
