outdoordude Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) hello I am new on this site dose anyone know of any good custom rod builders that are affordable thanks Edited May 17, 2013 by outdoordude
Nipfisher Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 There are a few on this site. Speil, Kemper, and Garry2rs, are a few, sorry if I forgot others, they are just from memory.
irishfield Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Guess it depends on your idea of affordable. Spiel gets my vote for some amazing work... I'm sure others mentioned do some fine work too, but I've never fished with their creations vs 3 of Spiel's marvels.
Gerritt Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Spiel, if he had a website I would give it to you... but here is a list of others around the world... but the number one hit from google adsense is this site... http://ca.wholesalesports.com/storefront/home/fishing/fresh-saltwater-fishing/rod-reel-combos/c0-c20-c201-c20108-p1.html?gclid=CKjG6qLv87YCFeZFMgodBzcA5Q G
Gerritt Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 it can be done.... trust me.. unreal first post custom rods... LOL
ChrisK Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Spiel does top notch quality work and I highly recommend him.
Joey Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I agree, I have a couple Spiel custom rods. He would be first choice for me
Roy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I haven't bought anything other than Spiel rods in the last ten or so years.
lew Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 There's a very good reason that everyone recommends Spiels custom rods.
Live2fish85 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Spiel, hands down is the man to speak with. His work is always amazing.
aplumma Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Spiel has my vote he has built 5 rods for me over the years and the fit and finish are excellent. With the time and the components that Spiel uses make the rods more of an investment dollar for quality they are a real bargain. Art
outdoordude Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 ok thanks guys dose spiel have a website
Roy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 You can PM him here. If you don't get an answer soon enough (he's busy) let me know and I'll PM you his email addy.
Spiel Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 PM answered Ethan and thanks for the nod guys (and Gal ), much appreciated!
misfish Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 even I have one of his great rods Yep.thats a sweet creation. Got to see it on the weekend. Another vote for the Spiel master.rod builder
solopaddler Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I agree Spiel's work is good he's built several for me and is currently working on another at the moment. Some of you may know this, many of you don't. Spiel has more or less taken over the reins of the custom steelhead rods from this guy: http://www.jccustomtackle.com/ JC was always the best imo and if he's passing work along to Spiel as he slows down building himself that speaks volumes to me. I know Spiel now gets most of his hand turned wood reel seats and butt caps from JC (he's still churning those out). That's another huge plus as JC has always turned the finest wood, at least imo...
esoxansteel Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Speil X 300, his work is impeccable, and 2nd to none, and stands 100% by his work
Fish Farmer Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Spiel ultra light rods catch Sheephead and Muskies. I wanted a ultra Light for Perch and Crappie. I want a refund Now the Walleye rod he made me is another story, have to keep it locked up. Only rod that catches Walleye in our group of 8 guys. Nobody touches that deadly weapon. Spiel, #1 in my book. Linder's, my weapon is not for sale.
Ryan Landry Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 There was a post on the float fishing board about this guy sticking a builder with all the materials for a build. Only heard the one side of the story, but he recommend getting a deposit from this Ethan fellow.
