I posted this info right after I visited my favorite Angler's Workshop site.
One of them 12 footers will be my project for next year.
Their prices are a bit high, but what the heck.
A good hand made rod will last several generations.
An advice for all custom enthusiests, choose your seat and corks really well because the rod will not look the same if you ever have to rework them.
