Although there are inexpensive bars on the market, certainly can save money by building their own rods, compared with others of similar quality. Of course, you may want to use quality components even higher than what you would find on a "shelf" fishing rod, which may cost a little more, but the quality will far exceed what can be bought at a factory to build one.

• Cost
