Finally started the "twin" to my favorite striped b [no swearing please] rod. Another Seeker 7ft.

Took measurements off the built one and began to cut, shape and install the grips and reel seat.

I'll let this set up a few days and hopefully get some time on the weekend to start the underwraps and guide installation.[up]

Joe, just curious as to how much you save by building your own? I know my 7ft Seeker Blue Lightenings cost me about $180-$190 per pop

Tdaly,,It all depends on which components you go with. It you use all TOP shelf it will cost more than store bought. About $135 in components on this one.

where do you get your supplies?

buck, I use mudhole and netcraft online.

It takes time and patience but its fun. Nothing like catching a fish on a rod you made. This is an E gl [no swearing please] rod pass.

Yod, wish I had time to make 100 more..

Looks like alot of fun and the product is awesome. If I got another hobby my wife would leave me, without a doubt. So where do I get the components?[hihi]
