Who makes a nice 11' rod.

I am in the market for a one piece rod for exculsive use off the beaches of RI.
I throw a lot of darters, needles, ect. I am looking for something that is not to firm, a rig I can really get out there.....
Some guys on this board make them right? Can anyone have one ready for this Friday?

Doubt you could get something made that fast, unless you were willing to bribe them.

Your best bet may be to call CMS Enterprises in New Bedford and see what they have on the rack. They often have several popular rods built up with generic specifications...great quality and at a decent price.

So I'd assume there's more time waiting for stuff to dry than actual work...how fast could someone build a rod if they pushed it?

a day, but as you said thats pushing it and not using some components. You should give it a full day to cure on top of the build.

I can build 2-3 a day with no one bothering me (which rearly happens) and no designs black on black or 2 colors with out CP.
Then it takes 2 coats of epoxy at 7 hours each
