Kudu 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Awesome Steve. Max and I need a set. Btw I'm getting the itch for a 10wt. I've laid the smack down on them with the 6wt you made for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netabrookie 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 I agree with Blane, those are beautiful Steve. About how long does it take to get you to build a custom rod if I get on your waiting list? If I can swing the money I would like to get you to build one for my son when he gets back from sand land. I planned to get him another rod and I think one from you would be a perfect gift.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 It really just depends on the backlog of orders more than anything, which varies. I do this full time so I have a much faster turn around than most builders since I can build 10-14hrs 6-7 days a week, but there are times when I get slammed with a bunch of orders and it backs me up. On average at any given time I have a 2-3 week backlog, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but plan on 3 weeks at most times. "sand land"?? is he in the service?

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for the reply Steve. Yep, he is in the Army and I plan on getting him a nice rod when he gets home in late spring or early summer. I don't know if you can get little insignias for Airborne or Army Special Forces, but that would be a really nice touch if you can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
