I am new to rod building and am looking to start on some projects. I am looking for a good king blank to sling cigar minnows with. I have seen the threads already about king blanks but I don't wont to put a lot of money into it since it will be my first build. Also I am stumped as how to order grips and real seats and everything for the rod as far as the diameter of the rod and grips go. Do you order the blank first and then measure the diameter of the blank and order from that? Thanks for any help
