"I'm surprised at how reasonable some of..."
When I was a kid my father made a few surf casting poles. 10 to 13 footers. Maybe 25 years ago now he decided he wanted to build something else. What we found was just the opposite, and we were stunned at the prices. And while you couldn't buy a pole as nice (or just the way he wanted), you could buy really nice, quality pole for a fraction of what the parts cost. You could buy a dang nice pole for a good deal less than the blank alone cost.
