Your Most Expensive Fishing Rod

[svnmag]

Got an All Star, a Lew's and a couple Scheel's Guide Series from the 00's...St Croix? I ignore price tags until I find a candidate then find some price tags retarded. For the most part I like a fast action with semi-soft tip. As does she.

This may be the same thread IDK...Again I say to y'all...The newest configuration of the Berkeley Lightning Rod is an amazing 50ish dollar value. They should do a YT vid of blindfolded angler tests.
No b/c experience; all spinning. IMO we're in the Golden Age of fishing tackle.

Need to go now. One of the chicks lost a Lego or so I'm being told

Internesting we have a full blow thread going on right now talking about the country going into a recession or depression and the next thread shows nearly 60% of us owning a fishing rod over $150. Pot, meet kettle, lmao!

It's actually nostalgic. Don't snub the Lighting Rod.

Berkley tactic or lightning rod are my go to. I have some st croix and fenwicks but they get left in the box for the tactic.

Ya it cost a bit to get set up, but I’ve built for more than just me. The price I threw out of $200-250 is for the highest end blanks out there. I can build a nice rod for less. I’ve done quite a few builds for friends and family too. It’s a hobby and hobbies cost as everyone on this site is well aware. I love being able to build and fish with exactly what I like tho. I built a one of a kind jigging stick that is the absolute bomb! I love that thing.

How do repair an eyelet that broke off? Heat it to get the piece out ?? glue in a new one??

Drop off in GF with me. I know a guy who repairs as nice as new. Extremely reasonable.

Most expensive set up... bottom of Lake Audubon. Third time out with kayak. Was tied off but must have snapped the line with my leg as kayak turned turtle in less than a second. Tackle box luckily was waterproof and floated.

I have a few moderately expensive fly rods for various weights. Hate to admit I only use cheaper stuff for walleyes, strippers and knock around fishing. I’m klutzy and have lots a lot of rod tips in pickup doors, car trunks, stepping Odín the dark, etc. I might catch fewer fish with stuff like ugly sticks, but I don’t care…..

Guy you talking about fish now

I've been building rods for about 15 years. I haven't bought one from the store in years.

Do you ever put on classes for anyone interested? Like our fly tying classes?

Have been custom building rods for many years as well. Was able to purchase a fairly large qty of St. Croix SC-V blanks about 4 years ago and primarily use those. Rainshadow also makes nice blanks for the price.

Were the TWO that my clumsy ass fishing partner stepped on before I ever even got them wet. I still think he did it on purpose. LB
