Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much does a custom rod cost?

A: All custom-built fishing rods are individually priced. The components, decorations and personalization requested are all considered when pricing your rod.

Q: When do I have to pay?

A: A 50% deposit is required to save your spot in the build queue and get components ordered if needed. Balance is due when you pick up your rod or prior to shipping.

A: Yes! If you would like to provide some of the components or all of them, we can work with you to build your custom rod.
