Title: Local Rod Builders
Post by: mr.p on October 28, 2009, 07:14:25 PM: Any recommendations or experiences with local rod builders?
I've recently developed a fetish for exotic cork handles and reel seats.
And since I'm in the market for a new steelhead rod, I though I should explore custom options.
