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.
