There are three build grades that I use most often: Signature, Stream, and Perfection. When you read the descriptions please keep in mind the reel seat options, flor grade cork, Snake brand guides, silk threads, rod bag, alignment dots and finish are all the same. The only things that differ are (1) stripping guide option and (2) a silk tipping option.
Signature Grade. Rods are wrapped in silk, with tipping at winding check and ferrules. The stripping guide is Fuji or Snake brand.
Stream Grade. Rods are wrapped in silk, with tipping at all guides, ferrules and winding check. The stripping guide is Mildrum/carbide or titanium stripping guide.
Perfection Grade. Rods are wrapped in silk, with tipping at all guides, ferrules and winding check. The stripping guide is an agate ring set in nickel silver.Up Charge items. There are some things that I have to charge extra for, either because of extra cost in making or extra labor. Please find the list below.

- Rattan reel seat - Add $60

- Cork mortised seats - Add $40
- Double agate stripping guides - Add $25Contact me (either by phone or email), make a deposit and I will start working with you on the specs for your new rod. First you choose the blank, length and line weight, then you will be able to choose your reel seat, wood insert, grip shape, thread wrap colors, hardware color and more. I offer slide band & locking seats in both up and down locking configurations for fresh or saltwater application. I turn the cork grip in house from cork rings so just about any shape you can imagine can be made. I use Snake Brand guides in dark nickle or nickle, and I have a vast selection of stripping guide options.
Not sure how you want this rod built or need some help making choices?
You can be as involved as you like. In many cases clients may ask for a custom build with a locking seat but want to leave the rest up to me, or maybe you're dead-set on a cigar grip but open to just about anything else, it's really no problem I'll work with you. You can always look through photos on this website, my facebook or instagram pages for inspiration, or I can send you photos of what I suggest and we can work from there.
