I have plenty of experience building rods and have taught rod-building classes for years, but when it comes to selling my abilities as a rod-builder I am cautious. Bottom line I feel I can build a rod as well as the best custom rod-builders, but bottom line when it comes down to an hourly income for doing so I would have to charge the buyer more than it is worth and then I do not have the where-withal to provide a warranty.

I will build a rod for someone if they insist, but I make it very clear they can do much better purchasing a rod from a manufacturer who can provide a much stronger warranty at a lower price. Actually I prefer to enjoy the rods I build myself and then when tired of them ? donate to a worthy cause.
