hey alsept1 you seem to have a great deal of knowledge and randy tucker may be able to help me too due to him getting custon rods made quite a bit. basically im trying to get as much info as possible becuase for the aniversery my ole lady said she wants to get me custom rods made cause really i dont do anything besides fish drink beer and watch sports inless its hunting season, and she really stands firm on not getting me a new gun, i really wanted the remington 1187 sportsman but it aint happinin. i dont know much about the handles and guides or the blanks about getting a custom one made never thought about it at all, money isnt really a thought to her because of what i got her and it better not be haha. i need a lil help from you guys to help me rig up a nice one. i want 2 11 surf rods just dont know what to tell her to get besides that.

I think Randy would be the better person to talk to about this. I have never had one made to my liking. But here are some things that you can choose from i think.
RODS: 1) Fiberglass rod 2) Graphite rod 3) Composite rod
HANDLES: 1) Cork 2) Foam
EYES: This is the insert not the frame. 1) Glass 2) Titanium
REEL SEAT: 1) Plastic 2) Aluminum
I am sure there is more to choose from. Hope this helps.

preach brother preach. right now, for paylaking, diawa is making the best rods by far. the eliminator, sealine x, and now the emcast. these rods are half the weight and twice as strong. check the line/lure weight vs. other rods. my fav is the sealine x 11 ft. have you guys seen the 11'3" sealine surf? these rods are just like the sealine x only fatter and even stroger. it is a beast. i have some of these for sale. here is a short list. i have (2) 11 ft sealine x w/ abu garcia 6500c3 w/ new floats, trailors and line for $125 each (1) 11 ft eliminator w/abu garcia 6000 for $100 (3) 11'3"sealine surf brand new for $69 (513) 941-4765
