When production rods are not enough, it's time to go custom. Come share your experiences building and/or ordering a custom rod and tell us if you'll ever go back to off the shelf.

NFC MB 709 HM is only $69 on sale now just for a cheap option you can cut 2 inches down. Hard to beat their prices now. I just ordered 4 hm blanks and a im swb blank for about $360 with shipping included. Just something to consider. You get 2 models for any of the others. :D

I have this blank, purchased on recommendations, it's a meat stick with no tip. I bought it to make a frog rod but it is not able to load and roll cast.

It's great for magdrafts but I'd stay away for your purposes.
