As Kelly Galloup stated in the video, custom rods are full value for their high prices due to their uniqueness and the quality of the craftmanship. They can be considered works of art.
While your hourly wage may be low, what value do you place on the enjoyment and pride you get from designing and crafting your rods? I think it is very high. As well it should be.
Similarly, people that purchase your custom rods take great pride in owning and fishing them.
