[QUOTE="AaronJ, post: 287962, member: 1109"] I used to build rods myself. I'm more of a demo derby guy so my end result fit and finish wasn't what I had hoped for and I didn't love doing it so I quit. I choose high end rods off the rack because I like to feel them in my hands, weight, balance, etc before forking over $200-$400. Although choosing components (guides, handle, etc) is an awesome part of custom rods; those items do not overshadow the "overall feel" for me. Same reason I do not order jeans or pants on-line, not all sizes fit the same just as not all medium moderate St. Croix blanks (used in custom rod building) are not 100% identical. [/QUOTE]
