Thanks for making a quality product!

Dave, I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I'm enjoying the rod that I had you create for me. My Springer rod last year and the year before was alright, but I love bobber fishing for springers and wanted something that would make the whole experience both better and a little easier, as the rod I was using made the whole thing a bit of a chore. This hasn't been the banner Springer year I hoped for, but I can tell you that since getting the rod, I've noticed an incredible difference in the way that it performs. Flat out, it helps me put my bait where I want it to be with minimal effort and maximum accuracy. In bobber fishing presentation is often key, and getting my bait to the water I want with the least amount of effort is what I both asked for in this rod and what I have received. Thanks for making a quality product, I'll definitely go to DL Custom Rods again for my next purchase!!

Dave put together an incredible rod for me!

After fishing many differant fly rods on the Deschutes River it was time to upgrade my old fly rod. When I met Dave with DL Custom Fishing Rods we quickly became good friends. When Dave told me he has been building rods for years it could have not been better timing. Dave sat down with me and explained the benefits to a custom rod and all the options I had from the type of blank to the reel seat, guides, and wrap colors. He went over all kinds of options I could go with. After deciding on the type of rod and components Dave put together an incredible rod for me. I was amazed on how it casted compared to all the upper end fly rods off the shelf I have used my whole life. It was aslo a rod that I got to design and the colors I wanted it. Dave was great to work with and makes a really nice product. I highly recommend him if you are thinking of building a custom rod.

I just wanted to let you know that the rod showed up today. I tore into the package like a kid on christmas day. The rod is gorgeous! It is exactly what I wanted. The components look to be top notch and the assembly of them is perfect. The rod seems to have a good back bone and a sensitve tip. It is going to take all of my willpower not to sneak it out to the river for a test run. Thanks again for the beautiful work. I will recommend you highly to my friends and next year when I can afford it you will hear from me again.

Dave of DL Custom Fishing Rods has made me a believer.

I had always purchased off the shelf rods, until recently, when I decided to have my own personal drift rod custom made. The quality of workmanship on this rod is phenomenal. I have a hard time looking at, let alone using my other rods anymore. In a world of high volume, low cost production, it's refreshing to know there are still true craftsmen who take pride in the quality of their product and workmanship. Dave is truly one of these fine craftsmen. I would highly recommend DL Custom Fishing Rods to anyone in the market for a quality fishing rod.

Thanks again Dave.
