I know J and L custom rods out of Upton used to be at the worcester show. I haven't talked to him in a couple years so I don't know what he is up to. You can get the number through information. I don't know if it would save you anything though getting it at the show...

The whole huge first guide thing for long distance has been generally debunked. There are a few builders who still use the really big wire guides for the 1st guide, but it is less and less common. If you have someone build one for you, I would recommend trusting his judgment as far as guide sizes and such. If you don't trust em find someone you do trust. Pretty much all builders will do what the customer wants in the end, but at least consider their suggestions

The from scratch approach allows you to give your input on blank action, butt lengths, guide materials and such so you may find you are better able to get exactly what you are looking for.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
