You make some great points SeaWolf, especially with regards to blank warranties on a build... something that should be at the top of your list, and wasn't on mine. I'll need to look at Batson's policies before I settle on that blank, or any blank, and begin a build. This will be only my second custom build, and first surf rod, as my other was a boat rod from Canal B&T. Your point about cost is well received also, as these rods come with a price tag. But I think as you eluded to, I can make this rod tailored to me. Age, injuries, and fishing styles have changed since my early days, and although I'm not old, I like the ability to make "changes" that can lengthen my time in the surf and make it more enjoyable and productive.
