Custom Rod Question

[stripermaineiac]

Take a run down to Paulies an he might have a couple rods along the line of what your looking for that you can see and feel with the reel your gonna use. Just remember your the one that's gonna use it and it has to fit how you fish. I've built loads of rods over the years and my ist rule is how does it feel in the customers hands with a reel and guides taped on and test casting it.We all have our own style an flaws when we cast an fish. the rods you choose need to fit you. If someone wants to build you a quote custom rod without spending some time sizing you to the rod you want built well then you may as well just buy a factory rod cause it just isn't a custom rod-which will be more expensive- and at least get the factory warrentee and not just a rod that looks pretty.The Striper Maine-iac Ron
