I've been building my own rods for a while. Last year I decided I needed a short spinnerbait rod for working around docks on Lake Guntersville. I had a 6' MH Lamiglass Perigee blank sitting around, so I added a set of SiC guides scavanged from a broken Cabela's rod, a Fuji ECSM exposed blank reel seat, Swampland Tackle split cork handle and a Shimano Calcuta 150 reel. I used black thread with gold trim for the guides - it goes really well with the Calcutta.
I really like the shorter length rod for accuracy and the 5.8:1 gear ratio of the Calcutta for spinnerbaits.
