Master Rod Builder ... what does it mean?

I've seen some rod crafters designated as "Master Rod Builders", but I can't find an organization that gives that certification. What does the designation mean? Is there a certification organization that upholds a standard for the designation? Certainly there are some excellent rod builders that are not "Masters". So, tell me what it means. I want to know!

I was wondering the same thing about "Baiters". I got a t-shirt for xmas from the Capn. Has "Miss B Haven" at the top, a pic of the boat and "Bait Boy" at the bottom. Just wondering how I would get an upgrade to "Master" ?

Miss B Haven,

If you spend enough time fishing alone you might be able to consider yourself a "master" "baiter"

You need a fishing partner!

I normally would let this pass by, I just couldn't resist.

That's the problem with Tunaholics...they fish 2 weeks a year and then they tell stories for remaining 50 weeks!

Those Tuna must really warp the mind :tongue:

Fun Gus....I grow on you.

OK, now, back to the original question, please! :grin:
