Hi - I have been making a few posts over in the Fishing section, and just saw this. For the past few years I have been making rods, and a few months ago decided to try to sell them.
So far, it's working out really well. Sold over 30 this year, including to 5 or so people on this board. I am NOT trying to do this full time; it wouldn't be possible to make a living, but I can do 4-5 a month. So far, I am staying busy.
I can build all sorts of rods, on any blank. Lately I've built out St. Croix and G*Loomis blanks. If someone asks my recommendation, though, I would go with Rainshadow every time.
The pic attached is one of my specialties - a split grip light casting rod. We've caught hybrid up to 12# with this type rod, and it will cast something as light as a Roostertail.
If you think you want to move up to a custom rod, tailored exactly for you, with your name on it, and wraps of your choosing, send me a PM or check out my site:
