On a 7' a St.Croix 2S70MF med action custom build, $70 is what you would pay for the blank...

Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!  

haha do you think it will even be possible it dosent have to that high quality of a brand...

I don't think you understand what all goes into a rod build.

You need to read some....DG Rod Works...

Please don't take this the wrong way but you're just dreaming.

Boett,

Just curious, what features are you looking for that you don't think you can get in a factory rod?

Just FYI, the labor cost is usually about $100 for a basic custom... anything extra or pretty is priced a la carte on top of that.

The rod I built for fourbizz had almost $250 in parts alone. If you gave a decent rod builder all the parts for free, he couldn't afford to build the rod for $70. JMHO

A little off topic, but Ronnie, that stick you built him is an absolute beast!!!!  I was able to handle it and see it in action.  OMG.  Beautiful job on it!!!!!

This won't fit your budget, but you could try looking at a G-Blanks rod.  His rods start at $125.  I've heard some good comments, but have never seen or held one myself.  You'd have to do a little investigating to see if it's what you're looking for

Maybe when you get 300.00 you mean!

You should checkout http://dudleyrods.com/ when you get $200. He does great work and for about the same price as a regular st.croix or g-loomis rod. I got my custom g-loomis IMX 844 rod from him that I just love but I paid more for mine because I got fuji titanium guides. Check him out and he will work with you on what you want.
