Casting Rod Under 7'8" - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

There's a guy in Imperial Beach, Charlie's custom rods, that will build you whatever you want very reasonably priced. I just had him build me a rod from a blank very similar to the 8' Graftech and had him cut it down to 7'9". It came out perfect, I got to chose colors everything, and it was under $250. Shoot me a PM if you want his contact info. At least give him a call for a quote.

Updated-

My 9’ Californian broke over the weekend. ~12” of the top flew off in the middle of a cast. I’m assuming something weakened it ahead of time.

Turners gave 50% MSRP credit towards the same rod as expected.
Didn’t end up needing the receipt (thankfully), but I’m going to keep better track of the more recent receipt as they did ask for it initially.
