im sure its been asked before but does anyone have recommendations for good reputable rod builders , looking for one or two bass rods...not really sure I have enough patience to build one myself or buy all the proper tools to do it at this point since I don't know enough about custom rod building

I'll be happy to quote Rod builds for you. There are a few other regulars here that do good work too. I won't name them for fear of forgetting someone.

Mike built me the ULTIMATE SENKO ROD.

 

DVT does fantastic work.  He'll set you up with EXACTLY what you want.

Thanks guys for the info any other suggestions on recommended blanks are encouraged 

Recommended blank for what technique? Something in general? You didn't mention price so that is another piece. 

Looking to keep it under 400 ...was thinking of getting an nrx or a high end rod but I'm being persuaded to go custom or build it myself but kind of hesitant on doing it myself as it would cost a few hundred just for the building equipment
