Thread: who on here makes custom rods?

Would like to have a king rod made

John G at J&M makes great Custom rods but sometime the turn around may be a little long do to the high Volume of business they do. Jeb Brantley aka The Original Pier Pest also makes awesome rods you can send him a a pm.

^^^^^ Jeb builds a nice rod.

John has some nice king rods in stock if you aren't hell bent on a pure custom. Prolly save yourself a few bucks too

I build a pretty good one myself, I haven't been building as long as John or Jeb, but I'll bet I'm cheaper than both, John sent me a pm about a business license, but I'm under 18 so, Mr. John if you happen to read this do pm me

Rodbuilder, The state doesn't care how old you are. If you're gonna be advertising for business you need to have a business license.

Tooting your own horn is not a way to make a good first impression on any customer base. Having humility will get you way further in business than being cocky. If you let your product speak for you, rather than trying to undercut others by advertising a cheaper price, business will find you. You also need to keep in mind that cheaper is not always better. If the market is saturated with subpar work for a cheap price, customers will come to expect cheap prices from all those in the industry. When they go to a builder who has been doing it for a while thats prices haven't changed, it will hurt their business. As far as the business license goes, Jeff is completely correct in his statement. The state doesn't care how old you are, or how much or little you make. They want their cut, and they will get it whether its voluntary or by force.

Never been too impressed with their work personally

Ill say this ive bought many rods from differant people that builds them when I first came down here ,,,,and You get what you pay for.some times its like comparing oranges and apples

Unfortunately, sometimes you don't get what you pay for........Buyer beware. Do your research and, just like anything, buy from someone with a good reputation. I think you've got a couple of pretty good recommendations on here.
