custom rods?

[birddogwi]

I'm not sure but I think I'm getting a little out of hand here.

Through this whole process I've been going through to choose new equipment I'm sure you noticed that I've gone from a "best bang for my buck" attitude to "do it right the first time and be done". Been handling a lot of stuff recently and thanks to you folks I've got my sense about me dealing with the reels.

Now the rods I've been looking at have ranged over the spectrum of manufacturers and I've found something to be quite common with the rods that have been available to me to actually hold.. the grips have been relatively small in length and diameter which isn't very comfortable for me [unsure]..

Now here's the gig.. I'm not the most proficient fly angler as I've openly admited previously. If I was to advise someone, myself on the matter I would probably tell them they're crazy to consider it until they know a little more about what they want in a rod.

Considering that - would it be worth it if not just for the grip size to have one built?

Thanks for your ideas and thoughts folks - I appreciate them all!
