With all the new an different stuff out there it is hard for the even experienced builder to relay this info to the buyer in how the rod will perform..The reason for this is most are not avid fisherman.At least to the level of some of the more experienced buyers..
Some will just wrap em like they have all the others.with components that they have or commonly use an are reluctant to do anything differently.
Guide selction can dramitcally alter the action of a longer rod..
A custom rod should be just that, a custom rod one built to the buyers lure weight preferences,casting style,reel an line choice,an body configuration.Not just a blank that u get guides added to..\
This may take some time.The buyer may have to come back an make a few cast's with the guides taped on..
When u buy custom golf clubs the seller will have a array of different models for u to test out..
It's a shame this practice could not take place with the custom rods for obvious reasons
What it comes down to is Most buyers are not sure what they want an the sellers really can't explain the difference...
So lots of perfectly nice customs go up on the rack after short use because they where not as thought...
U go in any good fisherman's garage an u will see em..
The learning curve..
I know there are some that are the exception to the rule..
U know who u are..
this is not meant as any disrespect to the builders
It's just something obvious that I see as a problem..
