Cal star rods

You don't need much to make a rod: the correct guides, some thread, epoxy, a real seat, handle material and a cardboard box.  I made probably 15 rods and went overboard on the equipment ( like I do with most things I do). Got rid of most of my stuff but You can have my thread if you want.

That would be great  idk how I could get it from you tho I live in seaside.  About  how much do you think it cost you to make a rod? And where did you get your supplies?

Send me a pm with your address and I'll send it to you. Look at mudhole.com for supplies and info. 

Check out Anglers workshop... they have an amazing selection, They are also in the Northwest.. so they know what we need. Its not all bass fishing and walleye here..

Salmon is what is best fished for with a rod with backbone but a soft tip. My favorite for salmon (and striper and steelhead) is a Lamiglas XCC 934 rod. Long for use on a kayak at 9'3". 

For halibut and rock fish the 7 ft. Ugly Stik Tiger 2202-70 rod or the good an equally inexpensive 7 ft. Penn Carnage CARBW700XL rated for 10-25# line.

Another rod type I have added is for slow jerk jigging. The rods are very short and light but very strong. One is the Shimano Tescata at 6'3" that works with 20-40# line and lures up to 5 oz. Great feel when used with braid.

I have only used the 6'5" Calstar Grafighter GFGR 765XL on power boats but it would be good for halibut and cod, not particularly suited for salmon or steelhead.
