Are you looking for recommendations for a rod or builder or both?!?

I build rods as a hobby (about 20 now) and have a number of blanks I want to move (all sage).  Let me know if you want to talk or see some picks of my work.

If you're looking for recommendations for a rod/blank then answer these questions and then maybe someone can point you in the right direction in terms of the blank:
#1 - budget
#2 - style (fly, spin, bait cast, or center pin)
#3 - main river used on (I fish different rods on the cap vs vedder vs Thompson)

Right now looking for a builder.  I've got a sage 3113 looking to get customized.  I'll try contacting you gooey, maybe you can send me some pics of recent builds that would be a great start.

Thanks

I would recommend Dave @ Hi-water Tackle in N. Van.
He has Sage blanks. His cork is very hi grade. Decades of experience.  :)
