Looking at things like:
* finding the spine of the rod
* pro techniques and what they do
etc
If someone could put something up, I'll look into it next time I'm over.

GoFish, Mudhole, Rodworks etc... I am looking at giving it a bash but would prefer buying within NZ.
Might start with wrapping a Gaff so I don't ruin a blank |
