Nipfisher Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2fish85 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Spiel, hands down is the man to speak with. His work is always amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share 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...

Fish Farmer Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Landry Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
