Quality Components The blank is the beginning of the custom rod building process. Therefore, it only makes sense that a good custom rod begin here.  Consumer market rods are good, but they are not GREAT. The spine of the rod may be incorrectly located thus resulting in a torque twist when under the load of that great catch of the day. A custom built rod has a carefully located spine that assures reliability when reliability is most needed. Furthermore, the custom built rod uses a blank of superior quality. Manufacturers such as G Loomis, Lamiglass, St. Croix, Graphite USA, Seeker, Calstar, Rainshadow, and Shakari produce high quality, state of the art blanks for custom builders. Once the spine has been carefully located, the guides are meticulously wrapped securely to the blank. A GREAT rod will have perfectly aligned guides that are of the highest quality - like Fuji .  The Fuji guides have demonstrated an incredible track record of quality and performance over many years of business.  They have proven to be innovators as they were the first to use titanium. The Fuji SIC guide offers sensational sensitivity and significantly reduced drag.   A Coach's Custom Rod will sport Fuji guides that are wrapped to the blank and finished with Flexcoat, Glass Coat or the latest technology in epoxy finishes.
