[billystix custom rods]

hunting fool
split grips yes i have done them but i am not a big fan of the concept in my opinion split grips are not truly a very pliable feature on a custom rod, i would much rather spend my time and effort in perfecting the balance, in a split grip a builder has to put a small counter balance in the very end of the rod to get a balance now at this point he charges you more for less, i would rather say go ahead and put a cut out reel seat on the blank so that you can feel the blank place a dood quality cork grip on the blank in such a manner as to when you place your reel on the rod and you lay your rod on your index finger at the threaded barrell with a 7 in grip or a 9 in grip and watch a perfect balance, then complete the build with the spiral wrap and have you go with your fishing buddy and make a cast and your top water bait land approx 30 feet past his bait, he looks at you and ask "how the he!! did you do that" answer with a perctly balanced billystix spiral" the "spiralstix" now answer to your question yes if that is what my customer wants then that is what he gets, but i will give him the pros and the cons before i take his order.
the one thing you all will find sooner or later that i am a custom rod builder because i have a passion for what i do , my truck is paid for so i dont need to earn money i have a job in other words i will never scre!! a customer just give him service.
the other question i am often asked how do i ever get a price answer there is only one way"you must talk with me directly" and let me know what your needs are i will never build a rod by e mail never.
i want to know who i am building for, i want your rod to be built just for you and no one else, this is very important to me and it will never change.
so if you have questions to get answers call me i will talk to you for as long as you want it's your dime.
