I was asked if I could build a "decent" 6 1/2 foot crappie rod for between $35--$45.00...$50.00 would be top price...a glass rod , with good action.....and a "good quality rod" !!.....
Oh Yes....If he likes the rod I build he may order a number of them....
I am ready to tell this guy...NO !!!!.....But....HELL NO !!!!..
Sounds like a typical tackle shop owner to me !!..
