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.

I heard That !! Steve just put together a really nice LTJ split grip style rod for me for slaying the springtime rock on the flats and anywhere else for that matter.
I have store bought LT rods too but nothing compares to a nice custom.This is my second Back Yard Custom and my new fav on the boat.

And Hey....I don't give a s*** what you call it,brown nose or what ever ...Steve builds a helluva nice stick.

Not sure how you can compare a boat building to a rod builder and just because I build rods in my backyard and not a shop like other guys don’t knock it it’s all I got. I build a good rod for a very fair price and I would guess that Bill builds great boats as well. When you start comparing $80,000 boats to a $150.00 rod I guess I’m in the wrong business.

I know when Marty picked up his rod his next stop was a local tackle shop, not BP to match a reel to his rod. If you don’t think a good balance rod doesn’t make a difference then put a reel that weights about 14oz on an M/H action rod and jig with it ALL day long and see how your arms feel at the end of the day. By the way Marty you and Roger have a 6 pack and 2 bags of chips coming your way…. Thanks for the plug guys I really appreciate it.
