Bob make quality rods. We had an issue with 2 tuna rods on a friends boat and he took care of it promptly. They were swivel tips and were not working properly. Fit and finish decent. Mike at M&D's or CMS are other top choices. Remember it is the blank and components that makes up the quality and effectiveness of the rod.
Do a search on this topic and most of your questions should be answered.

I could never find any information on what blanks he builds his rods on? Are the tuna rods no name blanks, Lami, Calstar, Shakespere, Pac Bay.......why is this not stated? It would give you an ides of what you are buying. Judging by the relatively low prices compared to other "customs" these rods are priced to sell but I don't think the blanks say on a tuna rod is a top of the line Calstar. For the money they look like and I'm sure they are a good stick but as Keeper said it is the components that give the rod a feel.

See the article on spiral wraps in OTW December 2008.
I am trying to figure out what blank for a stand up tuna stick I should try wrapping my first spiral on......
