That's some some pretty broad assumptions from someone who does not know me or my work, so I take a little offense to a few statements made here. All rod builders do not use the same blanks/components. I've been building for 6 years and have built rods from over 10 different blank manufacturers. I do mainly use only 2 in most of my builds now due to their past performance history/reviews from customers and not because "everybody uses them". It is true that anyone can slap together a few parts and create a "custom" rod & thats cool. The difference in a "true" custom rod is the builder putting the correct combination of parts with the correct blank based on that customers specifications (knowledge/skill). I have no doubt marshrunner757 will see the difference in my product when complete.
