Sky-Guy

4th from the top is a FS85C

Look at the wrapping above the front cork.

Also look how thick the blank is.

Parker am I right?

Hey this is fun.

We should have a guess the rod thread, oh wait that could get ugly.

Sky-Guy - Nope.
Angg - More. Always need more.
4Salt - Bite me.
Lead Thrower - Correct!

Oh come on, this is too easy.

Here are your clues. You already know which one is the 10.5' 1263c Rod (look for the duct tape, as 4Salt would say!). The Sage is a 9 footer.

I bet if you look at the spinning rods, you can easily find the 1141's and even the 1143s. They are 9'6".

I haven't have the chance to fish a TH yet, but I can tell you Bruce (NCR) builds one heck of a rod! Sweet cork and wrap work!

NCR would be my choice.Bruce makes very sweet rods for every purpose.

NCR (Northwest Custom Rods) Bruce Pearson makes them
Go with that

Locally you could try Gregs Custom Rods

The 5th one from the top is an Allstar Elite HSR 901.

Oooo. TH is making my custom Rainshadown HSR930c now! Can't wait to seeand fish this beauty!

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.

Gotta go with the NCR!
