Title: rod builder
Post by: mikeysm on July 24, 2016, 07:06:23 PM
I need a rod builder in california the builder I was using flaked out on me. Here in the Valley none off them want to do anything but brag. I had one builder set up but he never got back to me. He knows who I am talking about he is a member. Won't return emails or messages or calls. I would like a yes or no that would be fine. I have waited long enough so I must look elsewhere for a builder. So if anyone knows a builder that has a good rep let me know.

Mike, I only hear good things about Jon Vadney. He's a member and has a section in the for sale area on the home page. Sorry to hear of your troubles.

Perhaps have a look at http://www.tackleworks.org/

It appears there are 6 listings for your state.

Also Jim Trelikes and Bill Havens (Salty Dawg Rods) come to mind.

Good guys, nice work...imho

Let me say I live in the direct center off california. Going to San Diego is a very long drive. I also want someone with a good rep so I don't make the trip for nothing. I do not want to ship the rod to someone and not discuss what I want in person. Remember california is a big state and some places are just to far away for what I want.
