    Looking for good used king rod

    Hey guys, my brother is looking to get a used custom rod to join us on the rail this year. He can't afford much, something at or below $100 in good condition for him to start on. Fast action and prefer an 8 ft. Let me know if you can help gentlemen and see ya on the rail.
    We call it catching not fishing!

    If you go just a little bit above that myself or John could build you a basic 8ft black rack custom rod.

    rocks reef has some good rods and you pay like $75 for one. just watch for air bubbles in the epoxy.

    Air bubbles large enough to affect the performance of a rod would be the sign of crappy assembly and someone worried about quantity and not quality.

    even like medium size air bubbles. overtime the epoxy will crack and you will have to repair it.
