For the record, for every rod I have ever had built, from Kevin Bogan to Mike Garone to Tony at Jersey Coast, before they began we had extensive discussions and they had me try multiple blanks to try to narrow down what exactly I wanted to feel and the use of the rod I wanted.....In my humble opinion, it is not close for value........custom vs. mass produced.
