i want to add a 8wt flyrod to my collection. i have been reading about building rods lately and it sounds cool. i would use a american tackle matrix blank. american tackle says it has a limited lifetime warranty(anyone ever used it)all the thing needed add up to $150-+.
my current flyrod is a templefork outfitters series 1 5wt. i broke it once,TFO got me a replacement back super fast no hassle. for the cost of building a rod i could get a 8wt TFO series 1 and a reel and be confident in the warranty.
so would you try to build a custom rod or go with a trusted quality company?
