rodmaker Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Are you hooked on it now??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes rodmaker, I'm working on my third rod and am planning my fourth. I would say thats it for the summer but I know its not.I'm working on a 6'6" spinning rod for bass fishing for a family friend that is graduating from High school next month in Nebraska. He loves to fish and I figured he would treasure a custom rod more than a hundred bucks. With the cash, its gone in no time and the rod he can use for a lifetime.When does it stop??

MW AL Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 harvey lee,That's what we like to hear, working on #4. We'll keep the component bins stocked for you. Now if I get caught up on our orders and get a couple built for myself, what do you say to us going out and "field testing" these rods. I will be more than willing to show you a couple of technique specific blanks that you will probably not want to live without.AlMidwest Rod & Reel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
