Well, I guess I should raise the price and make more money.

Bill,
When I build rods for guys I always tell them I cannot come close to rods you can buy off the rack. The thing about store bought rods is that they make about a trillion of them the same way that’s why they can sell them for a lot less. That is a really good price on those rods just wish I could get a good blank for that price.  Hell I put up a post a week ago trying to sell some trolling rods at a discount price and only had 3 guys call me about them and none of them even got one and I was only asking $100.00 for a Custom Built rod.

Steve, just start building boats, can't be that hard. Give someone here a sweet, below market deal, and they in turn will sing your praises, until they are blue in the face. Have an open house up in Bum F Walkersville, serve some chow, few beers, your good !
Whatta business plan.. I'm a f'ing genius...

If that’s what it takes to make a couple of bucks maybe I’ll have to do that. We eat a lot of yard bird up here so that will be the main dish…You ready to head South next week, I know I am my bags have been packed for 2 weeks…..

If I didn't already have 30 rods lying around, I could make you a sweet deal on some Bar B Q for your "Rod Builder Open house."

Steve built me one sweet rod a couple weeks ago. I used it today at the rips and even though it was rough, it was sensitive enough to feel the bite (even on 30 # braid). I caught plenty of fish and the rod was balanced perfectly. Even the Captain of the boat commented on the rod when he tried it. It was a virgin until today, but I quickly turned it into a Rockfish Whore this morning.
If you are interested in a sweet custom rod that can be personalized with your initials, name, or picture of your favorite fish that you target, see Steve.

p.s. That should be worth at least a beer and some chips  .
p.p.s. When my gas tank needed replacing, Bill Judge did the work in a timely manner and at a very resonable price. Even if you are not in the market for a new boat, Bill can do repairs or modifications for you.
That's worth two beers and a bag of chips.

Rods and Boats
Perhaps one should be familiar with more than one of the subject items before giving their "expert" opinions on either.
For example; I caught my first fish at the Rips today and the perfectly balanced rod was the reason. That is funny. Every Swinging Dick in the area is catching fish out there and it's not because they are good fisherman.
Boat building is at least an order of magnitude more difficult than putting together a rod in the backyard. So don't compare the two.
Let everyone post what they want on this board.

Good Lord, with this post, I think we've found the biggest "whore" on the board, and it is no longer your new rod...you kiss that much ass for a beer and some chips???
Does that even get the taste of poo from all that butt kissing out of your mouth? 
When you start telling everyone with an Angler "Nice Boat" at the end of your posts, you'll never get a ride again
