Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 Just finished this classic glass rod up. 8'1" 4/5wt 4pc. Casts like a dream with it's full flex silky smooth action. Used a removable butt on this one so it can be used with or without. I built this one without an owner in mind (just to sell) but I may end up keeping it for myself perhaps if it doesn't sell lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

portlyjoe 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 Beautiful rod there Rat. And honestly thats a steal at the price you're asking for. Custom rods are not cheap by any standard, and thats a beautiful custom.... If i had the loot, I'd buy that for my arsenal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaznsc 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 How long does that take you to build? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 That depends on what I'm building. Custom grips and butts add time, multi color wraps, longer butt wraps, inscriptions in reel seat windows, multi piece rod and longer rods etc etc all add time. On average anywhere from 6-12 hour of work not counting curing in the dryer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
