Custom-built fishing rods have a lot more to offer an angler than they did years ago. Once a custom built rod was little more than a sign of affluence, now it has more to do with function. Component technology has since outpaced commercial rod design, and continues to do so on a regular basis. Anglers who fish a lot know better than the manufacturers what they want in their rods. Where better to start than with a custom fishing rod builder.

A Case For Custom Built Fishing Rods - Part #5 of a Series
We are approaching the end of this series of blogs, however there are a few more points to be made
To get to this high degree of specialization, the custom rod is the best answer. The rod builder would start by interviewing the fisherperson then choose a blank according to length, action, power and line test preferences, install a handle length that suits and fits you, then add the correct number and size of guides so that the rod casts and fishes well. It takes time and expertise to make all these elements work well together.

Today’s anglers want a rod to perform well in a particular environment for an expressed purpose.
