Over the last 4-5 years I have been building rods for a number of avid fisherman in Alaska. Each summer I go up and fish with these people, while testing the various types of rods I have built. I always come back with new ideas and modifications for new, even better performing rods.

I have always turned to Batson and Utmost Enterprises to find the products needed to make these changes. I have found both companies to be exceptional in their customer service. Both companies have always been there for me and help me find what I need to upgrade the performance of my rods. I can not say enough about Karry Batson and how helpful he has been over the years. He has always taken the time to help me build the best rods possible. I order all my blanks and components from Carol at Utmost. Carol has also been very helpful and always gets my orders out very,very fast. Its always a pleasure doing business with these companies. I highly recommend Batson and Utmost to other rod builders.

Utmost sells both retail and wholesale, and they have great access to both Batson's and Pac Bay wharehouses as they are all in Sequim, WA. Decent prices and they only charge actual shipping prices. For west coast builders, they are a great source for both Batson's and Pac Bay. I've had nothing but good experiences with their service.
