Auction is for a brand new Custom built St. Croix SCIV 2 piece fly rod 4 to 9 weight with a St. Croix rod tube(your choice either travel tube or rod and reel tube).  All of our rods come with custom turned handles to give you that truly "Custom" look you are looking for.  I do not use the "pre-shaped" handles most rod builders prefer, since the resulting rod looks too similar to the factory equivalent rod.  The whole idea of a custom rod is to be different.  Many rod builders today will do custom handle work for a large price tag.  I believe the premium is usually worth it as most do excellent work.  Our idea is to provide the handle work for your custom look without the price premium.  Custom turned handles are our specialty and they set us apart.

  You will notice that we allow best offers on all our custom rods.  Please keep these things in mind:  Please do not offer $200 for a $400 rod.  That is a waste of time for everyone involved.  If we are booked solid we will not accept any offers below list price.  If we have openings we would be happy to consider any reasonable offers to save you a little money.  Please use the best offer responsibly.  Thank you.

  The blank comes in a beautiful Matte Spruce Green finish complete with St. Croix rod sticker and lifetime warranty through the manufacturer.  Here is what St. Croix has to say about the SCIV blank series:

"An extraordinary high-performance, high-modulus graphite.  Produces extremely lightweight rods with crisp, fast actions and an incredible transfer of power.  Also very sensitive."

Here are the blank models to choose from:


Model # - 4F9042 - 9'0" 4 weight  2 piece  Fast action
             4F9052 - 9'0"  5 weight  2 piece  Fast action
             4F9062 - 9'0"  6 weight  2 piece  Fast action
             4F9082 - 9'0"  8 weight  2 piece  Fast action
             4F9092 - 9'0"  9 weight  2 piece  Fast action

Hardware:  Reel seat for the 4-5-6 weights is a REC model ABS for 2-7 weight rods with pewter or black hardware and your choice of the following wood inserts:
Tiger Maple
Birdeye Maple
Cocobolo
Stabilized Box Elder Burl
Stabilized Maple Burl
Highly Figured Walnut
Amboyna Burl
Stabilized Black Ash Burl
Stabilized Buckeye Burl

Reel seat on the 8 and 9 weight is a REC model RGAL with pewter or black hardware.

Guides will be your choice of Hopkins & Holloway Hard Chrome strippers and snake guides, or replace the stripper guides with Fuji model CLNAG Chrome finish Alconite strippers.  The rod is completed with a matching REC anodized aluminum winding check and a hook keeper if you want one.  There are literally 1000's of different hardware combinations available today, so don't be afraid to call us at (218)393-5315 or email if you would like different hardware for your rod.

Custom Handle:

    The possible variations for your custom handle are endless.  The only restrictions we have are that we only work with cork(no wood or EVA).  We can use standard flor grade cork rings, rubberized rings, spotted cork, burl cork rings in natural, brown, red, green, and blue, burnt cork, burnt cork mixed with natural cork, all in 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch thicknesses.  Want a standard full wells with burnt cork accents?  Great!  Want a 7 inch half wells all in natural burl?  That works too!  Maybe there is a new cork product that we haven't heard about that you would like to try.  We can use that too.  The decision is entirely up to you.

About H & H Custom:

We have been building rods regionally for about a dozen years, specializing in fly rods, steelhead drift rods, custom ice rods, and freshwater spinning and casting rods.  We have made the decision to turn our local hobby into a full time business.  We have over 60 years experience on Great Lakes steelhead rivers and 25 years experience as custom rod builders.  We will be expanding our Ebay store over the course of the next couple months to include a huge selection of blanks, rod kits, Custom Built rods, and rod building items from St. Croix, Lamiglas, Sage, Orvis, Pacific Bay, American Tackle, Thomas & Thomas, Diamondback, Rogue, Flex Coat, and many others.  We will also carry a large selection of other fishing related items.

Delivery:

Your rod will be completed within 3-6 weeks upon receipt of cleared payment and building specs, depending on our work load.  We can give you a pretty accurate ETA at the time you order.  We do not build rods in advance for sale since all rods are built to exact customer specs.  If there is a time issue with your order let us know and we will try to accommodate you. 

Returns:

We here at H & H Custom know that it is really not a successful transaction if you are not 100% satisfied with the delivered product.  Therefore if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase simply return the product in its original packaging within 14 days for a refund of your purchase price(less shipping). 

Guarantee/Warranty:

This blank has a limited lifetime warranty against breakage provided by the manufacturer, St. Croix.  Warranty info and instructions will be included with your rod.  St. Croix charges $20 for warranty returns.  You can call us at the number listed below if you have any warranty questions or if you need help with manufacturers warranty issues.  H & H Custom also offers a lifetime warranty on all workmanship for your rod.  If you should encounter a problem just contact us so we can resolve it for you.

Shipping:

Payments will be made through Paypal within 3 days of auction closing. If you do not have a Paypal account we can also take credit card orders over the phone.  If payment will be delayed in any way simply contact us through Ebay and let us know within the 3 day window.  Please do not bid if you are unsure or if you have additional questions.  Ebay charges a fee when an auction is won and it can be hard to get that fee back when the buyer does not pay or backs out.  Please get all your questions answered before you bid.  Be sure to contact me with any questions about this auction.  Check my Ebay store for more items, as we will be beginning the store expansion soon.  If there is anything fishing related that you are looking for be sure to contact us first.  Our suppliers have a huge selection to choose from and we will not be able to list it all.  We can set up a Buy it Now auction for the item with a great price if you like.  Be sure to save our store to your favorites and check back often.
