For those custom rod builders - 1piece to 2piece SB rod conversion

Featured Replies

So I'm in need of a swim bait rod that is two piece due to the nature of a certain lake and getting into it.  I've done some searching but am unable to find a swim bait rod that is two piece in the specs I need.

So my question to those rod builders out there.... is it possible to take a stock swim bait rod and that is 1 piece and cut it in half and make a two piece rod?  I am aware that this would effect the action to some point but at this point I'm willing to take that chance.

Do any rod builders have input on this?  Anybody willing to do this for me for some $$$...   Thanks  :)

I would not reccomend trying to make a two piece out of a one piece blank.  I think if you were to get the ferrule worked out (not likely), the action would be very poor.  I think your best bet is to compromise a little on the action and go with a fully developed two piece blank from a good blank maker.

Just noticed some travel blanks in the new products catalog on BatsonEnterprises web site. Take a look at their SWT70MH-3 and SWT70H-3 to see if they make sense for what you want.  They are noted as being suitable for peacock bass.
