BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted January 10, 2009 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted January 10, 2009 I gave my nephew a gift certificate for a custom built rod for christmas. I ordered the materials and they are finally all here. He called me today to ask if we could build it this weekend. He is so excited and can't wait to get started. He will be here at 9 am and pictures will be coming of the whole build. Quote
