Which reminds me. April is approaching! I am going to be searching for the
person or company that will build my arsenal. I'm going to order a custom
rod from Dave, one from Steve, one from Bay Furnace, and one from Kistler.
Craig,
I can vouch for Steve, I have 3 of his rods, 2 spinning and one
ultra-heavy flippin' stick. They are awesome, especially the latest
creation, a 7' heavy action spinning rod built on a Legend Elite (is
this right, Steve?) blank with a skeleton reel seat and those new REC
titanium guides. It's ultra light weight, extremely stiff and
sensitive. I caught my first 2 bass of the year last weekend on a
senko in 12 ft of water

In fact I prefer a dull (no lacquer) bare blank appearance.
Yup, I prefer unfinished blanks also. Mine are a matte green with
minimal wrap colors.

I use Shimano Chronarch 200 reels for balance reference.
The Chronarchs are all 100 series reels...........Since lightweight
and sensitivity are a requirement, you should probably try the
Chronarch 100SFMg. It has a magnesium frame and is pretty light.
