  1. I've built about 15 rods and you will not save money. But you are usually using better components and get exactly what you want. Labor wise they are time consuming unless you are very experienced. The first couple you do are a learning curve. A lot of technique details that need to be learned. If you want custom butt wraps you better have patience to start. Aside from my boat rods I only fish what I built for myself now though. Def satisfaction fishing what you built. First rod I built was a cheap Cabelas UL kit. That rod has caught more fish than I can count. Ugliest damn rod known to man.

    Someone was kind enough to relieve me of all 3 of my 12lb torpedo weights. I guess they were concerned about my fuel usage.

     

    Looking to replace them with either 12 or 14 pounders.

     

    Tnx for looking,

    Jack

    So it's pretty embarrassing when one of your friends hears about how your weights were stolen off your boat and then walks back to your bait well and pulls them out. Which causes you to suddenly remember your bright idea to put them there. Oh the pain. I am hoping that you actually can fix stupid.

    Thanks for the reply, I have one coming already. I will keep these in mind as possible back ups though. Are you in Fair Haven often? I fish out of Port Bay and could always pick one up in Fair Haven if I opt to keep a back up.

    are you the Outwest on ogf. I haven't talked to you for a while if you are. but I just wanted to say hey.

     

    i have a bass boat and trailer without titles with a little older good running 70 hp Johnson that i would let go for 800.00. you could check to see what yrs will fit your motor or just use the motor. i thought my 115 hp motor was done so i bought this rig for the motor but didn't need it after my 115 was fixed.

    I'll keep that in mind. I have a couple of possibilities going right now but I will circle back if they fall through.

    Thanks Jack
