I would recommend Greg's Custom Rods up in Lake Stevens(www.gregscustomrods.com). He's a really good guy, and will build up as simple or fancy as your tastes may want.

From their website, TH seems to just build spec rods, and build them inexpensively. With a few hundered to spend, the sky is your limit, and you should talk to a real rod crafter, who can really knock your eyes out, and Greg is one of those guys.

Failing wanting to work with Greg I would consult Tackleworks, and look for a builder in your area: http://www.tackleworks.org/.

I am an intermediate rod builder, having about 10 under my belt, and know that you want more than I can do. But I want to see you guided to the right place, and not just by word of mouth. Custom rod building goes far beyond the realm of prebuild rods, and you should see the galaxy before picking your star.
