As a custom rod builders I'm gonna be kinda biased, obviously. True reason to buy custom over production, QUALITY. You said quality fuji guides when clearly those are bargain bin bottom shelf aluminum oxide and stainless on that 120 production rod. On my 120 builds I at least do zirconium. Only reason the buy production. availability and convenience. Not every rod builder will strip a broke blank for FREE and at cost rebuild your custom blank. Big manufactures make about 40 percent profit on store bought rods over 99 and the store markup is even more, support your custom rod builders like us at Jelsma Rod Co. Because we want you to have the best equipment possible at a reasonable price. Most of our builds we make a little less than 7 percent profit, your dollar goes way farther. Also if you like a production rod buy it, send to us to upgrade. we wrap guides at 10 a foot, and double foot guides are 17 for wrapping. Call or email for anything custom we quote same day. Great vid guys keep it up.

Professionally I deal with very expensive production items. We build custom models in development of the production dedign. Almost always the custom design reveals some fatal flaw. Before spending big bucks for a custom rod, I would want to see the history of the custom builder, particularly since it's nearly impractical to get warranty service. Bottom line: I think the cost of two production rods vs one custom rod, pushes my decision to production and let my ego go without my specifications. The fish certainly don't care and my concern is fish in the boat. Great Tackle Tuesday. Thanks.

No, they are not. Unless you want to be flashy or have that cosmetic touch. Custom rods normally do not have any advantage over quality modern production rods.
Take it from someone who's been fishing for over a decade and already tried that coolaid.

Custom rods look so much better I have been building rods for 20 years the most important thing is the fact that they last and look good while doing so. Store bought rods don't last and have lots of mestakes in the blanks that u can't see.

When you really feel the difference in custom rods is when you fish the big fish, cos the rods fit your hand n usually lighter n more balanced for the long fight. On a long range boat theres no mistaken identity of taking your tod.
