I have 2 rods that came to mind when I read this. I have a Fenwick 6'6" jig/worm rod that just needs to be made better looking for the rod that it is. Another is an inexpensive rod
that I bought out of the bargain bin for 8$. It's 6' and almost parabolic but I haven't found a better rod for small crankbaits or light spinnerbaits. These both need handles also and will be complete rebuild. I'll start with the cheaper rod one day.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
