scoopdaloop Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Does anyone have a custom rod that isn't an LDC? I'm considering wrapping my own blank but before I do that I wanted to ask if anyone knew of other good custom swimbait rod builders. Pics and info appreciated!

Vedak Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I hear Performance Tackle makes some good ones, but never used any myself. I'm all LDC for swimbait gear. pinstriperpoot, jakevlastnik and JeremyW 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeast_trev Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) I've seen some awesome BC Customs rods. Maybe consider looking into Musky rod builders/customs. They usually build some beefy rods Edited May 20, 2015 by northeast_trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igl00jx Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'll second Swimbo/Moam 51/50. Answered all my questions promptly. Payment to receiving complete build was within the 6-8 week window he quoted. Would be more or less dependent on his schedule. I'd use his services again. huddslinger, genexiong15 and tsteadyslayin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 If you're just looking for custom rods builders to work with there's quite a few guys with a lot of experience out there. They are not members on here but are great people to work with.

northeast_trev Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 How hard is it to build a basic rod Not that hard in principle, but it's time consuming and requires lots of skill and exprience for it to be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimbaitsatLMV Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Marc at Performance or Cam at Moam. Both high quality builders. Performance rods tend to be more function oriented than blinged out though, just an fyi. Building a rod isn't super difficult, but it's hard to make them look good and you don't want to start with an expensive blank and parts. I was fortunate enough to have Adam Cargill teach me how to wrap, and even then it's a learning curve. Rod Wynn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILIKEBIGBAITS Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Mind if a maniac rods by cam aka Swimbo. I own 2. He is fast efficient and the rods are great. If suggest the p06 Psycho series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopdaloop Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Sweeeet. Ya I have an LDC and I love it. Really just wanting to see what else is out there. I wish I knew someone knew me that would take me through the steps to build a rod. I'll be looking at the Moam sticks and building my own. Appreciate the help. Does anyone have a pic of their Moam?
