I have not, but I'd like to.  I haven't been happy with the production trolling rods I've found in retail.  I'd love to have a pair of custom setups built to my specs.  Closest I've found are some kokanee salmon trolling rods but those seem a bit too light.  Everything else seems heavier than I'd want for brookies, rainbows and landlocks to 21" or so.
