Anyone out there want to build me a 9' 5wt. 4pc. Dan craft FT. I would love to do it myself, but just don't have time and ice off is just around the corner up here in BC. Thanks
I would do it for ya, but I'm way out here in utard. let me know how it turns out for you. I have been dying to try out a dancraft myself.
I'll be building a Dan Craft 9'6" 6wt 4pc. Sig V or the 5wt Sig V within the next couple weeks. This winter I built a 9' 7wt. 4 pc FT (907-4 FT). Are you building the Sig V or FT? The 7wt. FT is a really fast powerful rod and could throw a 10 weight line without breaking a sweat.
I would encourage you to try building it yourself. If you can tie a fly you can build a rod. You don't really need any special tools. http://flyfisherman.com/rodbuilding//index2.html
I can build it for you. I have built many rods--several on Dan Craft blanks. I'd be happy to email photos of some of my rods. Email me at jatoynbee@hotmail.com to talk specifics. Thanks, Andrew Toynbee
Did I mention that I will do it for free, for a chance to build another rod, I am a detail kind of guy....oh well Ned
Hey Guys Thanks for all the interest. My local shop owner has talked me into building the rod myself with him overseeing the build. Who knows, I might get into this building your own thing. It sounds like it can get addicting. Jim
