12' piece of 3/4" x 3/4" cold-rolled steel
key-stock (cut into two 6' sections). NOTE: By using 7/8" or
1" key-stock, you will allow yourself to be able to make larger
sized rods, since it keep the apex of the strips you are planing from
hitting the shoulder bolts. 3/4" key-stock will suffice for most
any trout rod, but I personally would tend to use 7/8" or 1"
key-stock for its greater versatility. If you use the wider
stock, you should also get correspondingly longer shoulder bolts,
set screws, and dowel pins.
