I am a custom rod maker. I have many clients who like the quality of my craftsmanship, the look and feel of my rods, but have unique individual requirements for a rod. I can usually meet most requirements. I have an extremely large repository of rod tapers on hand to draw from and considerable experience in modifying existing tapers to meet today's requirements.
There are a number of things that constitute a custom rod from the owner's name inscribed on the rod to the cork grip being fitted to their hand. The length, line weight, and action of a rod is one component of a custom rod, The number of sections from being a one piece rod to a multi section pack rod is another. I have custom hardware for they type of reel seat desired and will match the wrap color to the wood insert.
I have meet many challenges from the 4' 11" Blue Ridge Banty to the Shenandoah Spey Rod which is a 12' 3 piece 6wt two handed delight. I can surely accommodate your specifications and requirements for your idea of a great rod.
