I would reccommend a lipper. Bogas are nice but a Berkely satisfied me for 12 years. Surf belt to hang essentials: pliers, lipper, etc plus keep water out when you fall in. chest waders breathables if not wet wading in spring cold water. Many good off the shelf rods now a day. Don't need to custom when getting feet wet. Bunch of trinkets to personalize your needs. Like saltheart says.
