Hi all. Just wanted to put this out there. I have been building custom rods, mostly for myself and family/friends, but have an blank and hardware to build which I probably will not need. I would be happy to build and sell it relatively cheap if anyone is interested. The blank I have is a Batson Forecast blank (these have a very good reputation as high quality moderately fast action blanks), a lovely dark blue gloss finish, and it is a 9 foot, four piece 6 wt. I will be putting a reverse half wells grip on it, with a reel seat that has a beautiful camphor burl wood insert. I have a knurled aluminum winding check for it, and polished stainless snake guides (ie the ususal sort of guides), and a low friction stripping guide. I have a few different colours of thread, so could wrap to suit. These rods are quite nice and the action is good (you are welcome to test it out with a fly line and reel in the back field to see how it casts). Here's a post in which I have some pics of one of my recent builds, a 2 wt also on a Forecast blank: mbff.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1175054069I asking $140 for it. Just pm me if any interest. Ken

If any of you guys out there are ever looking for someone to build them a rod, I will vouch for Ken's work. Absolute top quality workmanship!!!
