Daze Off Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I had one made by Fishin' Freaks here in the metro - he does awesome work. Contact me if you want his info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katman Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 you can go see thorne brothers in Fridley. They have tons of rod blank choices. Midwest rods has the split handle design. All great companies with great rods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadsea Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Outside the cost of the blank itself, how much does a custom made rod run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntnfish Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I will second Rods by Engel. He does very good work and is helpful in deciding what is necessary to have on the rod. I am sure Scoot will see this and get you his contact info if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Outside the cost of the blank itself, how much does a custom made rod run? That all depends on what quality components you go with.From the guides to fancy handles, it can run the price up considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katman Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'd say anywhere from 150 to sky's the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pherris Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I too can say Mr. Engle builds a great rod. I have a couple and they are both great. Even put my initials on ot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daze Off Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I had Fishin' Freaks custom make a dock rod for me - 5'6" MH spinning rod with Rogue blank. Ended up being around $160 or so if I remember correctly. Wanted something short for close quarters but with enough backbone to yank em out too. Put a Pfleuger spinning reel with 6.2:1 ratio on it and it is a sweet deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotwfisher Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Most companies can also just put the names on a off the shelf rod too. I don't think they charge for it, and if they do it is not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
