This tying video segment is from The Graphite Fly Rod: How to Build a Modern Classic (Tightline Productions, DVD, 56 minutes). In the clip, Russ Gooding of Golden Witch Technologies narrates the process of finding the spine of a graphite rod blank. This comprehensive guide to building a graphite rod focuses on a 7'6" 4-weight, but the tools and techniques used can be applied to a wide range of fly rods.
