I figured he retired. How's he doing? If I can get a blank from them, I'll find someone to wrap it. Otherwise, I think I'm done with custom rods. There's a lot of nice stuff on the rack.

I guess I'm stuck as far as any type of warranty?

I'm hoping someone can help. A few years back, Captain Neil built several rods for me on various CTS blanks. The other day, my CN702 snapped in half when I set the hook. I can't contact him by phone and can't find anything on the internet. Any suggestions?
