We could go into a good size store that had racks upon racks of all the different manufacturers factory built rods and blanks for building custom rods. This way we could get to play (ceiling poke, floor bend or hand flex) all these different blanks/rods.
Thanks to all the tackle stores and sporting goods stores, we can check out many factory rods.
This helps us make an informed choice when we buy the rod.
Unfortunately this does not exist for some one who wants to buils her/his own custom rod. In the past it has been trial and error. This can get expemsive. Word of mouth along with show and tell worked if you knew the right people.
Fortunately, thanks to many web sites on fishing, we can get an insight into the rods/blanks other fishermen are using and why.
Unfortunately the tackle shops I am aware of are not able to have racks upon racks of blanks for us to check out. Oh well, maybe someone from Home Depot could rectify this. HA!!!
I appreciate the input that all you fishermen contribute in this matter. Thanks.
