about 4 hours at a time is about it, but I did do a 8 hour sitting one time. you can save about half the price on a top end rod if you build one your self. I built a GL-3 loomis last year and it cost me 120 for all the parts. I then priced the same rod at sportsman and cabelas for 200. the price can vary on blanks from 20 to 200 and more. it just depends on what you want. I've been building quite a few Cabelas Fish Eagle blanks lately. they just about compare to the loomis blanks for lots more cheaper. you can build one of these for about 60 to 80 and even cheaper just depends on what you want.
