Terry;
Good question. A lot of it depends on the rod, how many guides, how many sections, etc. Is the builder experenced?
You might find that you can build it yourself for a lot less.
How much are you willing to pay per hour based on the builders skills?
I'm a beginner, only 4 rods so far and would build a rod for lets say a 100 bucks which would work out to about $3.50 and hour 'cause I'd want it to the best I could do!
I do not want to build rods for money!! Only for pleasure!

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
