[ERABBIT]

Looking to have a few made to replace the not so good 

Cabela's Whuppin' Stick® Trolling Rods

Great rod for the finger lakes just don't last and a pain to get replaced.

Love mine ,   esp the 7' roller dipsie rods work great on kings and are light enough to make the smaller fingerlakes fish fun too.

Check out Jase rods out of Mass. He was originally from NH, has moved his biz. Great rods for both fresh & salt water. He is building me a custom spiral float rod...& more to come. Just Google Jase rods....great stuff!

I would also recommend Jeff. He's done some work for a few of my buddies. I use a guy in Canada, but logistically that might not work for you.

Jeff has built a bunch of rods for me. Brown trout rods. Salmon rods. A dipsey rod and a steelhead rod for the river. I like the 7 foot size he specializes in. Easy to maneuver on the boat and puts a hurting on the fish quickly.

Jeff gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Are you looking to have the few problem guides replaced or new rods built to suit your needs? I can generally replace guides between builds, but I've got a bit of a backlog on rod builds as this is the busy season for custom work for me.
