Two thoughts here: True Temper (maker of golf shafts and also rod blanks for a time) clearly has backround in this.  I am guesssing golf is where the $$$ are, since they are still heavily invested.  And I have seen more than one Morro Bay rockfish stick made out of a fiberglass golf course flag... - john

There are golfclub making component suppliers with shafts for every budget.  Cheaper than searching the pawn shops.  You would probably want a ladies flex or seniors flex rating.

It's a shame I don't like golf. Selling custom rods to the rich ppl I work with would probably yield more scratch than my occasional rod builds.

I make gaffs from broken clubs, they work great.

This is what I get so far .Using the last blank that I bought so far .It is 4' long ,I cut off 1 " on the tip match with longest golf shaft that I can find 42" .They're match good and good bent even with rod blank and golf shaft .Most 2 pieces rod blank have 2 equal section ,these are not so I glue them together to make 1 piece rod , wet sand with 320 sand paper and paint it black

I use to get carbon golf club for $1 .The price been increase ,yesterday I get a whole bag for $15.00 keep only 6 carbon clubs and put back the rest .I never go to golf supply but don't think they cheaper than that

Who says 2 piece rods need to have even length pieces? I find it more aesthetically pleasing when they match but it's never made me put a rod back down because of it.

No body say they have to be even length but most if not all on market even length

John, how many were yours

It's been a while I have no update on these golf club rods ,some order from China took too long to ship ,some even ask me to pay 75% more for Trump tax so I have to cancel it .I have 2 golf club rods and 1 heavy rod that need double foot guides and I need bigger eye on tiptop to allow knots easy to go though but handles already install . Also finish lots of fiberglass rods
On the heavy rod I use #18 metal reel seat ,the lighter rod use #16 graphite reel seat
