I took a trip to Dalton to meet up with Coach B. and order me a rod from him. If you have not seen his rods, you need to do yourself a favor and check them out!! They are outstanding and of course custom made! He also wanted me to pass along to you catfisherman, that he has some outstanding blanks. He let me test one of them, and I can tell you a fish won't break it!! As soon as I get my rod from him I'll post some pictures!! On a side note, he's also a great guy to just sit a chat with. He goes over every detail about the rods and can explain everything. Pretty cool stuff!!! I highly recommend giving him a call!!
