Steve Fogle built me a jigging rod this spring and I have used it for everything from catching spot (keep that part quiet), to livelinning, and yes some jigging too
.
I somehow broke the tip. Although I use it for everything, I try not to abuse it. However, the tip got broken and I wanted Steve to replace the tip, so that the rod looked brand new.
I got in touch with him, and made arrangements to get the rod back to him (thanks Don/Hunter). Steve replaced the tip and the rod looks perfect. He did this all while dealing with a family emergency.
While I was willing to wait, Steve wanted the rod back in my hands ASAP.
He wouldn't even take any compensation for his efforts.
If anyone is looking for a custom rod that you can be proud to take on anyones boat and fish for nearly every species in the bay, give Steve a call.
