Rod Building Help

I am one of three club sponsors for JROTC fishing club that we just started at our high school with approximately 15 student members. We take the kids fishing and are planning to teach the kids to tie a couple basic flies and learn how to cast with a fly rod. We were kicking the idea around about having them build fishing rods. We will need somebody who can teach the students how to build the rods. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have no idea if there is somebody that does this, what they charge, or the process. Help!

    Talk to Ron or Eric at Hook&Hackle. They are literally right down the road from you.

    I Live in West Mifflin. I've only built a few rods. They're not works of art, but they fish well. If you want to talk, drop me a PM
