CUSTOM RODS.

I work on just about every kind of rod — saltwater, deep sea, freshwater, fly fishing, ice fishing, and even vintage models. Whether it’s a simple guide repair or a full rebuild, I’ve got you covered.

Repair turnaround time is usually 1–2 weeks, depending on the work needed.

Custom rods typically take 2–3 weeks, since I take the time to make sure every detail is perfect before it leaves the shop.

Most custom rod builders stick to limited components or one particular style. I design rods that reflect you — whether it’s themed around your favorite sport, college, or hobby. I also offer unique handle options like leather, snake skin, and cigar wraps, along with custom color and design choices to make each build one of a kind.

Actually, very few do. Most custom rod builders only focus on new builds, but I’ve always believed in keeping great rods alive. I handle both repairs and restorations, from simple guide replacements to full rebuilds — because some rods are just too special to retire.

Yes! I offer custom painted rods through a professional vendor I work with. And starting in early 2026, I’ll be adding laser-engraved handles to my lineup for even more personalization.

You can contact me by email, text, or phone call. For repairs, just explain the issue and I’ll provide a rough quote. For custom builds, we’ll discuss your target species, fishing style, and any design ideas or themes you have in mind.

Yes — vintage restorations are one of my favorite projects. I take special care to preserve the character of the original rod while restoring its strength and function so it’s ready for many more seasons.

For repairs, no deposit is required since I already have your rod in hand.

For custom rods, I do require a deposit once we finalize your design and I begin the build process.

Absolutely. Many customers from across the U.S. ship their rods to me for repair work. Once your rod arrives, I’ll inspect it, confirm your quote, and get started. When it’s finished, I can ship it right back to you.

I’m a dealer for IRT Reels, which are high-quality, American-made reels. Each one is built to order, so I don’t keep them in stock — but I can help you choose the right model and order it for your custom setup.

I accept credit cards, Venmo, and cash for local pickups. No payment is required up front for repairs, only upon completion.

Yes! I offer a limited lifetime warranty on all custom rods for the original owner. That warranty covers craftsmanship and build quality for as long as you own the rod.
