| AS ONE CAN SEE A ROD CAN EASILY BE DRESSED UP WITH A DECORATIVE WRAP OR BY DECORATING A ROD YOU ALREADY HAVE. THE DECORATIVE WRAPS ABOVE ARE $15 EACH (MOST ROD BUILDERS CHARGE $15 AN INCH). ROD DECORATION AS ABOVE (IN THIS CASE METALLIC THREAD) IS A FLAT RATE $20 WHICH INCLUDES THE SAME DECORATION AT EACH GUIDE, THE TIP, AND GRIP (IF ROOM ALLOWS). |

| Everyone asks: "How much do you charge for a rod?" It is not easy to give an answer due to all of the variables. With a "Custom rod" you get to choose the type of rod blank, type of grip, type of guides, and color of thread; as well as, the wrap pattern for the guides. With a "Handmade rod" you get the stock blank (black rib pattern) and guides (stainless steel frame with black shock ring and white ceramic insert) and get to choose type of grip, thread color, and wrap pattern. Most rod builders charge $15 an hour and up; however, I charge a flat rate of $25 for up to 6'' rods and $35 for 6.5' and 7' rods plus the price of all the components except thread. I buy the thread (if I don't have it) as I will probably need it sooner or later. Examples of choices are as follows: Blank: Length, maker (All Star, Falcon, St. Croix, Pac Bay, etc.), Power, Action Grip: Casting or spinning, cork or rubber, and length Guides: Stainless Steel, Gold, Black, Titanium, Double foot or single foot Thread Color: Almost limitless. Choice of nylon, silk, or metallic. All grips and reel seats are epoxied with a two part 4,000 lb. epoxy, all thread receives 4 coats of color preserver (except NCP and metallic) and 4 coats of rod finish. The entire rod then receives two coats of rod finish. I can also put your name in white or gold block letters on the rod ($5.00). All cork grips are sealed with U-40 Cork Seal to help prevent chipping and stain retention.

| Shipping and Handling for rods up to 6' is $10.00 and over 6' is $19.00. I know because that is what I pay when I get rod blanks. Even at those shipping rates I can make you a handmade casting or spinning rod (stock blank and guides) where you choose the grip and thread color that is 6' long for $65.00 SHIPPED and a 6.5' or 7' for $78.00 SHIPPED. These rods will also have a hook keeper and standard wrap patterns. Any decorative wraps and your name will be extra. LIMITED TIME OFFER!!!!!!!! |
