Hey. I am thinking about making my own custom "laker" rod with a 42" or 46" length. I can't find an ice rod big enough for the task, and I am not willing to fork over the 80 bucks for a Thorne Bro's. I have looked at Cabelas and St. Croix, but their blanks are too small. All of my fly rods are St. Croix, and I like the quality, but I need something bigger than 32". Anyone have any suggestions. I have never done this before; can anyone give me some ideas?
