The Craft

Making the Rods We Love
Custom!

Custom built casting, spinning, and saltwater rods using only the best components — made to YOUR exact specs.

I grew up fishing the flats of Tampa Bay, the mangrove creeks of the St. Johns River, and the offshore waters of the Gulf Coast. Every rod I build is designed for Florida fishing — the species, the water, and the technique.

Going custom means you choose the components, colors, and character. Whether you need a rod built for a specific technique or just want a longer butt section, I can do it. I work within a wide range of budgets and price is determined by the blank and components you choose.

What Anglers Say

Real Rods. Real Results.

"Chris built me a 7'3" heavy flipping stick that I took to a tournament on Lake Okeechobee. The sensitivity on that rod is unlike anything I've ever fished. Won my first tournament with it."
— Marcus T., Tournament Angler, Lake Okeechobee
"I've been fishing Tampa Bay for 20 years. The custom inshore rod Chris built me for redfish is a completely different experience than anything you'll find in a store."
— Dana S., Fishing Guide, Tampa Bay
"Ordered a matched pair of rods — Chris called me to talk through the build for 20 minutes. They arrived perfectly built and fish even better than I expected."
— Jeff R., Angler, St. Johns River
"Best rod I've ever owned. Super sensitive, strong, and it looks incredible. Nothing at the tackle shop comes close."
— Mike A., Angler, Sarasota
