Who makes a nice 11' rod.
 

I am in the market for a one piece rod for exculsive use off the beaches of RI.
I throw a lot of darters, needles, ect. I am looking for something that is not to firm, a rig I can really get out there.....
Some guys on this board make them right? Can anyone have one ready for this Friday?

new rod
 

check out mike thomas at M&d's in wareham 508 291 0820

Doubt you could get something made that fast, unless you were willing to bribe them.

Your best bet may be to call CMS Enterprises in New Bedford and see what they have on the rack. They often have several popular rods built up with generic specifications...great quality and at a decent price.

Sounds like ur in the market for a 132 2 Arra.my favorite rod.an Mike is just the man to do it.A gsb 132 1m is just as nice.Bart has seen me use it I basically get out on a rock an throw where ever I want It flat out launches.

Anyone coming from M&D to SoCo friday?

go get 'em mike. put the lathe away and get those rod wrapping fingers working. the man needs a rod! :D

hey johnny, i'm at mike's often. i could maybe deliver a rod friday, for say, a small fee. like a surf fishin' trip perhaps. :jump:

What is it a 70 min drive.i do that wit my eyes closed.Go see em I'm sure he has lots of other stuff u need.like 4 an 6x hooks an splitrings an habs an other stuff u deffinitly need.

NIB, I will be leaving boston on the friday of a holiday weekend, to get to RI with a Yellow lab, a wife and a 3 month old. It will be amazing if I make it at all never mind a trip to the cape tossed in.....

There is a reason I hate driving in NJ :bl:

I second Mike's shop, he makes a killer stick, wrapped my steath twin Batsons....

Its only a short trip down 495 maybe 1/2 hr.on the way from there u can take 24 south an cruise thru newport.its a nice ride.

Is it done yet???

Spence got my curiosity going so I :call: Mike to see what the rod status is. Turns out there is no status. No rod ordered. Lets see today is tues. & he said he could still git R dun by Fri. (if he gets the order) Thats some spinning!.

So I'd assume there's more time waiting for stuff to dry than actual work...how fast could someone build a rod if they pushed it?

-spence

a day, but as you said thats pushing it and not using some components. You should give it a full day to cure on top of the build.

I can build 2-3 a day with no one bothering me (which rearly happens) and no designs black on black or 2 colors with out CP.
Then it takes 2 coats of epoxy at 7 hours each

you got that right. you use that thing like a friggin missile launcher :eek5:
