A Rod Builder has a choice, spend time to build quality rods or spend time self promoting and compromise rod quality, while they are not mutually exclusive the reality of rod building is that most rod builders choose quality over self promotion at a certain point rod delivery times extend to maintain quality production output. While each builder answers the problem in their own way I choose to limit orders and build on the highest quality blanks and components available and yes the cost is more then many can afford but my production is custom and individually unique to the client. Some examples may be found on the Gallery Page of my website. Best to You and Tight Lines.
