When we think about a fishing rod it’s not just a rod, it should have the ability to bring life long memories. Anyone can go and buy an off the rack fishing rod from a number of big chain stores. Owning a custom built fishing rod means you have taken the time to design a perfect rod for you. Once you hold your custom rod that has been designed specially for your grip, style and type of fishing you will never want an off the rack rod again. We can design any salt water rods for inshore or offshore including fly rods. All of our custom rods are built from products supplied by Batson Enterprises.
