    Looking to have a custom walleye rod built for a co-worker’s retirement gift.

    cap of $200

    something along the lines of a Limit Creek smoothy style rod.

    Any ideas on the best place to go? or anybody on the forum build them?

    looking for custom wraps(colors), wood or cork handle, and personalized.

    MSP Metro area

    looking to get this done immediately.

    Thanks!

    Counts me OUT I dont do wraps,

    I believe it adds weight takes away sensitivity.

    Custom rod with wraps for under $200? Not to familiar with custom stuff but man, what’s the blank going to be an 80s fiberglass 6′ long?

    I was just inquiring about it. not sure what that budget will get me.

    even a factory rod with some personalization would work too.

    Just a name printed or hand written on the blank, and maybe dates.

    You can or atleast I can build a hell of a rod for $200, even after using some of the finest blanks/components on the market.

    I agree with Jeff, but once you start looking at doing decorative wraps the price goes up quick! My cheapest decorative wrap is $50 and they only go up from there.

    If you are wanting just a hand built rod you can easily do it for $200 with the right builder.
