Most good custom rods get made on the same blanks as the name-brand rods anyway.

If you want something really unique or unusual, a custom rod may be the way to go, but for most fishing applications a mid-to-high end name brand will do you just as well.

That's my opinion anyway.

Thanks for your input. Never owned what would be known as a high end rod. Something else for me to think about.
