| I'm in the market for a custom rod that will be dedicated to bucktails, 8s, 9s and the occasional 10. I've got a slingblade and while it has caught numerous fish, I feel it is to short.
i'm looking for some recommendations on where to get a custom rod built that isn't going to break the bank. |

I have four of these and can't say enough about Frank's workman ship and ability to build exactly what you need. |

| I have a Thorne Bros rod and really like it. You can call the shop and talk to Lonnie and he will build exactly what you're looking for. |

| I had thorne bros add 2" and a medium flare to my big nasty and love it for blades - and most everything else for that matter |
