Things To Consider For A Custom Rod
What it will be used for primarily when being fished. What fish are being targeted for the particular rod and the style of fishing that will be done with it.
The length, action, and power of the rod. These determine what line and lure weights can be used with the particular rod and how it responds under a load from casting a lure or fighting a fish.
The blank or tubular shaft that will be selected to build the rod.
The lengths, diameters, styles, and materials of the handle grips and reel seat components.
The guides, their spacing, type, and sizes.
The level of decorative aspects to be used on the custom rod. Color of threads used to bind the guides on the blank.
Whether it will have a hookeeper and/or the owner's name inscribed on the blank.
An angler's favorite factory rod can be used as a starting point to select a blank of similar power and action. In many cases the same blanks used for factory rods can be purchased and built as custom rods.
Along with the unique looks that can be created for custom fishing rods, custom rods can also be made lighter and with better balance than many factory rods by using the many design choices that are available when a fishing rod is built custom. A custom rod is often a better fishing tool than a factory made rod.
Labor costs for a new custom rod usually run from $100 to $200 depending on the level of decoration for the rod. Both rod blanks and the other components together have starting prices around $100. This means a new custom built rod will be $250 or more including taxes. Fishing rod repair runs about $15 an hour. 218-525-1003. [email protected]
