6 buoys custom rods
Any one own one? are they good to deal with? looking into getting custom his/hers flathead/blue cat/ ocean rods . Anyone know if they have a good selection of blanks guides and seats? A guy I work w just got one that they had sitting around for a couple years it looked nice but I wanted something a little nicer. Any other suggestions for custom rod builders?

6 bouys always have a few "project" rods laying around, usually they are willing to sell them pretty cheaply. if you actually have them build a rod for you then i'm sure the quality is better. i think they get their rod supplies from mudhole.com, so they can pretty much hook you up with any blank, guides, or reel seats that you would want.

FishinGuy, no that guy has nothing to do with 6 bouys, I stopped in the store in New Alex and wan not impressed with the quality or prices. I do have a rod from http://bigdadyrods.com/ and one more on the way, Randy does awesome work and is very easy to deal with, I promise you will not be dissapointed!

I go in here quite often to pick up bait when i'm omw to Conemaugh or Loyalhanna dam and honestly I have talked to the guy's in there for about 2-3 hours in all the times i've gone in combined in the past 2 years, and although the ones he has in house are pretty lower end quality etc etc, he does always shoot in that he can get you w/e you want and build you w/e you want... I was in there last fall and he was building 2 nice customs for a guy. So I think it really comes down to a preference in to where you get your custom rods from. As for quality or price... I wouldn't even take that into account since everyone knows a custom rod if you get a good blank (Gloomis, St Croix, Megabass) it's gonna cost you a good amount of money, and i'm pretty sure the ones he has in the shop move better then say if he had a $400 GLoomis sitting in the shop and that much money tied up waiting to sell it.

Loomis, I am not sure what the name of it is, but there is a tattoo and piercing store right next to it. Also before you come upon it there is a sign for live bait 1/4 mile. I usually get their night crawlers. They are very good. I think they might be some of the biggest worms I've seen compared to some of the bait shops around keystone lake.

Sorry I can't recall. I only get night crawlers. As stated previously, the guy that runs the place is super nice so he probably won't mind if you stop in and see.
