I called Tim today and MAN what a GREAT GUY!! He said he has some non-coustom rods (at a price I can work with) for me to try out to see what "I like" and "fits my style of fishing" best, before I spend a money on one of his. I know, basically because he said so, that he doesn't make much if anything on these and he STILL suggested the idea. To me, it takes one heck of an honest guy to suggest going a route that he doesn't make money on to insure you get the "right" pole for you. I would suggest anyone looking give him a call, especially after talking to the man for over 1/2 hour on the phone, I can't believe you would not be happy with him or his services. Thanks for the contact.
