Custom Rod Question

[AngrySeaHorse]

Gentlemen,

First and foremost I am new to the forums and would like to introduce myself. My name is Dan I'm from the North Shore of Long Island and have been fishing for several years now. Ive been going to college in upstate New York so most of my experience has been fresh water, but I love the surf cast during the summer. I am graduating from college this year and joining the work force shortly (real life) so I am looking to reward myself with a nice surf cast pole.

I've done the research, and I think the pole that suits me the best is the 11' CTS Vapor Trail 3-6 OZ. I've been using an 10' Ugly Stik the past few years and though I like it, it has not been able to get me as far out into the surf as I would like to be. I am more then willing to spend the money, and I know the blank itself is around $400 dollars. Can anyone help me with the estimated cost of building the rest of it? I'm sure there are several variables involved, I would love to have it top notch as this will be a special piece for me that I do not plan to replace for a decade.

Also if anyone has any recommendations to who would do a good job with this project on the island, let me know

Thanks,
Daniel.
