Crucian Carp Rod Rest and Handle Set Semi-Finished Product Semi-finished product I purchased this item last year with the intention of making a custom rod, but I haven't gotten around to it. There are no cracks in the ferrule, and it has 9 sections with 4 additional sections. The sections are well-aligned, and it's a good quality bamboo. The taper is also effective from the base of the rod. The handle grip for the handle only needs to be painted. I'm looking for someone who wants to try making their own. Daiwa SHIMANO Gamakatsu Marukyu Prime Area Thank you for looking.
