Sorry buddy but I seldom build rods where my cost on just the blank is in the $50 range. Pretty much I'm only building on Lamis , AllStar and Loomis blanks. I will be looking at some Rainshadows but not sure whether I'll build on them yet.

These rods that people are so happy with have about 20 hours work just in the thread art. I'm not putting that much time into building on anything but the better blanks. If you use Sic guides , it could cost almost 50 bucks just on the guides and reel seat.
