building a rod

[jomac]

Hi guys im thinking about building a rod for myself and would like opinions and some advice, i am thinking along the lines of a 9 or 10 foot rod much the same as the berkley air, to throw about 2 to3 oz plugs and spoons and possibly big dropshot, i would look at putting a sustain 6000 or 8000 depnding on the balance, where could one find a blank and is there any chance of hmg?

Thanks Jonty

You might get a blank from Gremlins.

Search the forum. I think it might be Enigma that builds.

 There were a couple of posts on building rods.

Let us know how you got on.

Also get hold of Jacques ( BigBass ), he's a fantastic builder and could help you out..

Otherwise check out www.mudhole.com, and check out the St.Croix blanks..
