    Looking for a custom rod builder near Indiana

    Alright guys, I am looking for recommendations for someone to build a couple rods for me. I'd prefer to have someone relatively nearby build these for me.

    I currently have a couple NFC blanks that I bought a few years ago. My intention was to attempt to build them myself, but they have been hanging on the wall for years and I still haven't found the time. Anyhow, I have decided to find someone to build them for me.

    I want top-notch workmanship, but I don't want any fancy wrapping or anything. I just want a lightweight, neutral balance rod for maximum sensitivity. Any recommendations in the IN, KY, OH region?
