Pricing Guidelines

Pricing is very subjective part of the puzzle when looking to price out a rod build. With all of these variables, it presents an impossible method on setting up a fixed pricing structure. First and foremost as a prospecting customer, you can expect to pay the MSRP of materials plus any shipping costs due to ordering. A deposit is required for the payment of these materials. Once the deposit is received, the materials are ordered and the build can begin.

I often get calls starting out with, “how much would it cost to”….there really is no general explanation for a custom rod. With such a variety of components and differences in design this is an impossible question. Please take this into consideration and understand custom rod building is different from assembling pre-made parts.

Quoting

Once all components are settled and agreed upon, the customer is provided with a firm, hard copy of a quote. Please click the example to the right to see how a quote will look once it is sent to you.

Labor Charges

The labor charge for building a rod is determined by these three structures. This is what the customer is expected to pay after materials are ordered in and assembly begins. Until all labor is paid, the rod will not be shipped. No exceptions!

• Guide Labor – Wrapping and Finishing (Per Guide)
• Handle and Reel Seat – Gluing/Lathing/Boring/Reaming (Per Hour)
• Decal Application (One Time Charge)
