my bro got a few rods from Mike at MD's.. he was saying that Mike was pretty backed up and it would take a long time to get a custom now.. is that still true ? do you know what his customs usually cost ?

Custom sticks

Trigga.....this time of year all the builders are backed up with orders... If you really want a Ditch stick you can be proud of why not try wrapping your own... It's really not as hard to do as you might think.. Although it is VERY addictive.. And am sure there are several here willing to give you a hand getting it going... Myself included. .. Best of luck

Bob

I picked up a glass SB1213M this winter, it was less than 200 as a custom.
