    Default A Custom Built Rod for Redfish

    I am anticipating fishing for redfish off the Texas coast either late spring or early summer this year.
    This may not come to pass, hopefully it will.

    I'm exclusively a bamboo fly rod fisherman in freshwater. This would be my first foray into the salt.

    I would like to contact and discuss with someone a graphite rod for this fishing. A custom rod to be built by them. Nothing fancy, just a good medium fast taper in the 8' to 8' 3" range for 7 to 8 weight lines. I say "nothing fancy" but I've been known to surpass that phrase!

    Anyone interested in this project is welcome to contact me through the personal message feature here.
    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    Might want to post in the Rod Building forum at the bottom of the forum index. There are a lot of good builders that frequently post there.

    Steve Gallas has been so very kind to offer me the use of his T&T rod for this trip.

    Thanks Steve!
