Rick- How about checking in with Capt. Neil Faulkner. He has a Forum on custom rod building on this web site
Where to get good custom rods?
I was wondering what are the best blanks to make custom rods, and who on Long Island makes good custom rods. I know that Rod at J & R makes good rods, but I dont have 4 years to wait. I need three rods for 50's and one or two 30's. I would like all roller guides and will be using them for chunking and on the troll.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi,
Thanks, Tripleplay.
RickyK. I'm in Sayvill if I can help you.
I build on Seeker, Lamiglas and Calstar.
Have a completed Seeker 50# stand up on site as a demo. Still building a Calstar 50# SU with a spiral wrap.
By chance are you a member of the Oakdale Sportsmans Club?
I will be speaking at their meeting Thursday night.
Stop by to check out the spiral wrapped Stand Up 50#. It will be available for testing.
If I can be of help call 567-8049.

RickyK,
Meeting is tomorrow night at the Snapper Inn. I think you would have to check with your friend if you could go with him as a guest.
Sorry I don't have any pictures.
Just west of Broadway Ave,just north of the ball park.
Here are good blanks.
Seeker
CTSF55XH 50-80 composite
TSF55H 30-80 E GLASS
TSF55XH 40-100 E GLASS
CALSTAR
665H 30-80 E GLASS
665 20-50 E GLASS
These are fast action. They also make models that are X fast and 2x fast. They also have composite models, GF series.
LAMIGLAS
Has blanks that are excellent and more rugged. I have built on them also, especially for trolling(IFGA rated).

Capt. Neil,
I don't know if I can make it down there tonight, I have a few things to do. What time is the meeting, I live right a round the corner, maybe I can catch you there before you leave. Otherwise, I will just have to swing by your shop one day.
thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
I will be speaking at 830 PM and should be thru before 930 PM. Will be in lobby or meeting for awhile.
Will have 2 50# standups with me. The Calstar still needs the top wraps installed. Both rods can be pulled on.
Hope to see you there.

Hi Rick.
Right now I am in the shop more ofter than not. As the fishing season heats up I will be on the water more than now.
Daytime, evenings or weekends give a call so we can get together.
My presentation on rod stability and spiral wraps seemed to be well received.
Give a call at 567-8049.

Capt. Neil's Custom Rods
Hey, Rick, here's a plug for Capt. Neil's rod work. It is outstanding, plus he's a gentleman who is always willing to help people. We need more people in the world like him.
He is also a very good speaker. If you missed him the other night, be sure to catch him some other time. Neil came down to talk to my fishing classes last fall and did an excellent job on the topic of fluke fishing. He's probably better when it comes to rodbuilding. I hope this recommendation helps you.

Witch do you want? Chunking rods or trolling rods? These are two entirely different tools. Some stand up rods are capeable of both. Be carefull not to confuse the two. The west coast method of using stand ups around 7' are powerfull and make it easy on your body and reels when chunking. Here in the east, traditional trolling rods fit the bill when dragging baits or lures. Good Luck!
