“Building new Fishing Rods from the ground up.”

Pride in hand built non production rods. I have been building hand made custom rods since 1993.  I build anything from ultra light spinning rods, including fly rods, to heavy boat rods.  The options are so broad when building a custom rod.  You are not settling for what someone else thinks you need.  You are creating a rod that you know will fit you and your needs.

There are many choices of custom rod components..

From grips, reels seats, to guides there are so many options in designing a custom rod that fits you. I have been using Forecast components for years and recently ALPS components and highly recommend them for there performance and durability. In my opinion they set the industry standard. If you prefer any other brand over Forecast or ALPS components we will be happy to accommodate you.

Designing your Custom Fishing Rod

When you decide on a custom fishing rod it will be designed and built for you. It will fit your needs and be suited to the particular type of fishing that you wish to do. Picking the right blank, with the action you like, and the length that would be preferred by you is the first step. The reel seat and the grips are then chosen to your preference whether it be color or style.

We offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all of our rods.

Our warranty covers the workmanship on guide wraps, reel seats and handles for normal wear and tear. The components and rod blanks are covered under the manufacture warranty. We will be happy to assist you if any of those issues arise.

Our customers seem to have bigger smiles!

Dave of DL Custom Fishing Rods has made me a believer. I had always purchased off the shelf rods, until recenly, when I decided to have my own personal drift rod custom made.
