由 Lee Edwards It sounds like you’re looking for a custom-built 9’0″ 11-weight fly rod from Coastal Creek Outfitters. Here’s what you might want to consider when ordering or discussing this rod:
Key Features to Specify:
1. Blank Material – Graphite (fast action?), fiberglass (slower action?), or composite?
2. Handle/Grip Style – Full wells, half wells, cigar grip? (For an 11-weight, a full wells grip is common for better leverage.)
3. Reel Seat – Up-locking, down-locking? Aluminum, titanium, or exotic wood insert?
4. Guides – Single-foot, double-foot? Recoil, ceramic, or titanium?
5. Custom Wraps & Aesthetics – Thread color, trim bands, decal placement, signature wraps?
6. Taper & Action – Fast (for distance/power), moderate (for versatility), or slow (for delicate presentations)?
Intended Use for an 11-Weight Fly Rod:
– Saltwater (tarpon, permit, large bonefish, GT)
– Big freshwater predators (musky, large pike, salmon)
– Windy conditions where extra power is needed
Why Choose Coastal Creek Outfitters?
– If they specialize in custom builds, they may offer unique blank selections (e.g., R.L. Winston, Sage, CTS, or proprietary blanks).
– Their warranty & craftsmanship should be a factor—ask about repair policies.
– Some builders offer personalized engraving (name, initials, or custom text).
Next Steps:
– Contact them directly to discuss blank options, lead time, and pricing.
– If you have a specific color scheme in mind, provide Pantone codes or reference images.
– Ask if they can match components (e.g., a fighting butt, custom rod tube).
Would you like recommendations on line pairing (floating vs. sinking) or reel suggestions for this setup?
