I am interested in a custom rod, But I don't want anything flashy. I want a 7'6" to 8' for throwing plugs and snobbling cigs. I want to pair it with my Quantum Blue PTS 40 reel. I'd like stainless guides, foam split grip and black wraps. Weight is a key issue, I'd like it pretty dang light. Basically a simple lighter duty king rod for the pier. Any rod building gurus have any advice for me, and or quotes?
I'm from MN. and have been building rods for over 40 years. We plan to spend Jan. & Feb. in Gulf Shores. I have fished a lot in the Gulf but never in Gulf Shores. I will build you what ever you want for the cost of the materials, I order most of my components out of Mudhole, Custom Fishing Rod Building & Tackle Crafting Supply | mudhole.com, In return, I would like some direction & technique when we arrive in Jan. How does that sound to you? The FlyguyQuote:

You can look at that website and get a pretty good idea of what you want, or if you have questions you can e-mail me at lmsimon98@gmail.com. There will not be any labor fee, but in return I would like some advise on where to go and what technique would work best when we arrive down there in Jan.
I have a 8' batson Swb80ml wrapped with pacbay tichrome guides and a fuji reelseat and split grips I'll make you a deal on. Was building for a person and they never showed up to pick it up.
