- In this episode we discuss the benefits of building a custom fishing rod to the specifications and application of fishing you are doing. Captain Mike goes into our local rod builder to pickup a new set of rods and talk show with Chad.
Let us know if you are an advocate of building a custom rod or if you are completely satisfied with an over the shelf product.

If you got it... Get it. It always pays to get the best you can afford. I lucked into a second hand custom rod in Fernandina... Like 15 years ago. Never a problem with it.
Chad is the man. I had a sick rod built a couple months back. I used the "Cpt Mike Specs" . love it!
Im not sure if a rod built for you vs for everyone has more life on it but yea custom rods are pretty cool, I have a $250 Nomad Design rod I bought from the store and a $400 spinning rod I made and I end up using the store bought rod more.
I have custom rods and off the shelf rods. The custom rods I have, I LOVE. But, the customs rods are specifically built for targeting specific species, specific ways and even in specific locations. As for my off the shelf rods, these are much more versatile and cost less per rod, at least for how I fish.
I agree with you on custom rods. The last three rods I got I built myself. I ordered all of the tools, equipment and rod components from Mud Hole Tackle and built the rods exactly how I wanted them and they perform really well.
wow
so many questions
I joined a club & built a surf rod . Nothing beats catching ur first fish on a rod you built 💪
I've been a recreational angler for over 30 years now. Sebastion Inlet was my favorite haunt.
Loomis Rods have been my go to.
Now I have a new Wife that LOVES to fish! & I'd really love to get her something customized from Biscayne Rods.
She's gonna Love It!
Thanks for another great video Mike
as a custom rod builder I see the difference especially with the strenth and efficiency of the rods.you can be successful with a off the shelf rod.but dollar for dollar there is no comparison
Yup i agree. I bought off the shelf rods for years but when my family get our boat this season i will be going custom all the way. Agreed. But i do like color and so does wife and daughter.
custom all the way from light rods for salmon and steelhead to heavy offshore big tuna rods. here in the San Francisco Bay area.
Dreadnaught Rods Jon Vadney is the go to guy for me.
Nice! Love our Chaos’s with the Winthrop adjustabutt.
Check out Kistler Custom Rods out of Magnolia Texas. We build rods for mainly freshwater and lighter saltwater, but can do anything you need. We have some lower cost ($200) stock carbon and graphite rods as well.
I have both .... But I make my own custom rods ....I buy the blank the guides the Handle I wrap my design whatever I want pick my colors it's great
I guess you could call most of my offshore rods semi-custom. I love Key Largo rods for my live bait rods. I think they have the best action of any rod I have ever fished and for $135, they can’t be beat.
I've been buying custom rods for 30 years. I had the same guy building them all that time. I've got a flounder trip coming up in Sept and they, Connley Fishing, are building me a light tackle stick based on a Carbon Fiber blank. Super light and super strong.
Absolutely custom is the way to go
What was the red jig/hook holder you had on the rod? Is it installed by the rod maker or an after market buy?
Awesome captain
I think the need for custom all depends on the application and skill level of the angler. Those are some great looking rods. Gotta love the confession that you also hit the ceiling fan with your rods, We all do it. That's test level 1, level 2 is the door jam, not many survive that one. Great Vid~!
100% agree top quality ,they made beautiful rod for me ,the dedication the tradition, the love they put in there work is just undefeated🇵🇦👊👍
I have some custom rods and I have some rods that are semi custom . I really enjoy all of them equally. I fish with great equipment at all times and by making great decisions with the rods and reels and all terminal tackle I am able to enjoy a well rounded adventure most often without failure
Agreed...! all my rods are custom now 💯👊✊
I love the look of those rods, I’d love to try them one day, price is a big point for most folks.
I love Reaper Rods!!! They are awesome!!!
I started building my own rods. Will never by a store bought one again. You get exactly what you want when going custom. I agree with keeping it simple. More thread and epoxy just adds weight.
Just got my Daiwa BG 4500, paired up with a 7' med-heavy Ugly Stick. I'm happy for now. (Until I outgrow it.)
In for right at $200, spooled with 40# braid.
Great Combo, I've fished that setup for years, for the money VERY hard to beat combo
GREAT VIDEO CAPT MIKE WHAT LINE BRAND AND POUNDAGE DID YOU LOAD THAT ROD WITH? tHANK YOU
70lb Diamond Braid on a Talica 25
What is the price of the rod you are holding on the boat? (the one with the Penn Spinfisher on it). Just to have an idea if its worth thinking about 😉
Well I would love to have custom rods but I don’t. I catch my tarpon on Shimano Tallus rods which I really like and I use falcon low rider salts for my trout fishing and my wife uses the Walmart specials cause she reels lures to the very tip and knocks the ceramic out almost every time but I love her anyways.
I love Shimano everything.
I fly fish and on my side of things the company built rods are as good as custom. But building a custom rod is special and there is something special about fishing them.
I would love all custom rods. Unfortunately the price tag is a little steep for me. I will continue to use the disposable off the shelf rods
Off-the-shelf rods are great they do their job and the stuff that they have now is very high quality. Now if you want a rod with your name your logo the color you want and you want to buy a bunch to match for you're different fishing style then a custom rod is the way to go but you are going to pay more money and its probably going to work the same.
All my rod's.. #7evencustomrods, American tackle, nice video!
Congrats from Madeira Island, Portugal
Tell me about the spinning rod you are holding?
Fishing is an expensive sport and tackle is the front runner for that reason. Its a mixed bag when discussing fishing rods but You get what you pay for!
Your second video in this playlist is private. Can you change it to public please.
Custom if you can afford!! Off the shelf if that’s what you can afford
That adjustable butt is several hundred. Not a bad price for that rod at all. What guides did you go with?
Loomis all the way for me.
One at a time. How many rods do they build a day?f
They have been around forever, bought parts to build rods in the 70's from them.
I am building my own myself that is custom rod
There’s a lot of speculation when it comes to custom rods. I think it all boils down to personal preference and budget. Not a lot of people can afford a $500 rod. With that being said, there are a lot of GREAT rod manufacturers that make rods that last forever
Use to be a fisherman, now just a pitchman
Walmart has some great rods too
I Will go custom
Bro its Hialeah not Miami you always say the same thing.

For me, I can't afford custom, so off the shelf/rack it is. I have had good and bad experiences with them. Bad is generally due to user error.
If I was a professional fisherman, running a high end charter, fishing tournaments, it would be all custom.
If I could afford a custom rod, I would probably build one for me anyway, I just cant justify it right now.
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👏👏
i’d rather just spend it on star rods lol
I put my money into my reels, I like solid built mid priced offshore rods, Star Rods, been around forever, get the job done and easily replaceable, although never had a problem with durability. Higher quality for Inshore, St. Croix, as quality pays off more.
I fished Star Rods from the time I could hold one until about 10 years ago when I contacted them tryin to buy Blue wrapped rods like they had in the 80s and 90s. They pretty much told me it couldn’t be done to look for an old set someone was selling. Do when I did some research I realized they weren’t even American made anymore they’re Chinese junk. That’s when I started going around to all the local builders and looking at rods. Pretty much narrowed it down to Connley and X Generation and went with Connley when I found a complete set of brand new rods that were never fished for about $1000 cheaper then buying retail. Bought all my rods and reels from Connley ever since and never had any problems bringing anything back when I break it!
Bro
Yep, those fish just love to be caught on a super expensive fishing rod! What is it they say? oh yeah, a fool and his money are easily parted.
