With respect to makeing rods for $....fogetabout it. You correct.
If you were to attempt it I would guess your best shot at making a decent living is the low end. The really fine labor intensive wraps are done for the "art" of it and while I am sure you could get someone to pay big bucks here and there for one you would be hard pressed to sell enough to pay the morgage off. For that you need to travel to Asia and produce 500K rods at 5 bucks each and resale them here for 20. That is how the $ is made.
However, the pleasure and joy you get from landing a 50 lb'er on a fine rod you made or handsome lure you made by hand produces memories that can't be bought at any price.
Do it for the fun and not to save $ and you will enjoy it for a long time.
