I couldn't make an account in the rod building forum for some reason so I thought id ask here, I want to build a one or two weight Rod and have done some reading on Rod building but I can't seem to find a good website to buy Rod blanks or components really. Id like to find a kit if possible. Does anyone have any tips or ideas for what I can do? Thanks

How does everyone take such good pictures of their flies, like when the fly is the only thing shown and the background is just black. Any pictures of your setup or explanations will be greatly appreciated
