You may well be correct, that's a good possibility. I do know that the rods I have were built by Behler for another gentleman, as it's inscribed on the rods. Also, the person I got the rods from says he bought them from the original owner's son. That doesn't mean Behler sold custom rods.I do not know of this person but I will throw this out there - sometimes hobby builders will put their name on a rod they made - so this person may not have been a pro builder, but I do not know that for certain.
I know my name or initials are on the rods I made.
