Reviewer: James Murray (adkmurray@yahoo.com) from Long Lake, NY US
Nice kit with quality components. Shipping was fast and well packaged. Rod is now just about complete with 2nd coat of Flexcoat going on tip section. Grip close fit, handle takes some reaming with 6" bastard file and the rest is gravy.

5 out of 5 stars Rod Kits 3,4,6 00/00/0000
Reviewer: David Soares from Sisters, OR US
I bought three of the kits to get back into fly fishing after a ten year break. Turns out I havent forgotten a thing except how much fun building rods is. These blanks, I got the 3,4 and 6. have worked out fine for me. I built em and took them up to the Dolly hole on a windy day and all three cast just fine. Js Stockard ships fast and efficiently.

4 out of 5 stars JS 7'9" 3 wt 00/00/0000
Reviewer: Michael Anderson from Cedar City, UT US
I've built a few of the Rx7 #3 rods. What a great casting rod! And you can't beat the price of this kit! I love this rod for small streams and slow, calm water. I makes very soft presentation. But it's too short for fast streams. I got the gunsmoke w/ rosewood spacer. Garnet thread matches the dark rosewood insert great! (although I ordered Scarlet with this kit...but luckily had some extra Garnet). The blank wasn't exactly straight, but not bad enough to make too much of a fuss. I am happy with this kit for the price.

5 out of 5 stars Rod building kit 00/00/0000
Reviewer: A viewer from Elkins, WV US
The blank is a very cool flat gray and the tackle included was as described and everything went together quite well. There was a problem with the threaded portion of the reel seat as it was bent (probably at the factory as the bag it was in was unmarked). When I called, James was very concerned as well as helpful and he got a replacement set up that night. When I went to see how much the cork handle needed to be reamed, the top section of cork cracked off. I called Stockard the next morning, James again was immediate and clear on the replacement. They shipped that day and were here within days. Both replacements were perfect and the rod is great. What could have been a nightmare at some retailers was a good experience. I will definitely order from them again.
