Special Length?  Top Water? Throwing Alabama Rigs?  Custom Grips? Ultra Light Weight? Micro Guides?, Split Grip?  Anything you can imagine can be done.  A custom fishing rod makes a perfect gift for your favorite fisherman.  A true custom fishing rod is more than just throwing on some grips, guides, and decals.  A true custom fishing rod is hand-crafted to each fisherman's unique requirements and no two are exactly the same.  

While I specialize in Carbon Fiber Grips, I also work with traditional EVA foam and Cork.  However, if you want something truly special, extremely light-weight, and a pleasure to fish with for hours at a time, nothing beats a Carbon Fiber Grip, High-end Rod Blank, and Microwave Guides.

Below are just several examples of custom-crafted Rods for your viewing pleasure.

Chasing Big Bass?  How about catching the Snakehead craze?  Throwing 8 oz. Bull Dawgs for Muskie?  Forest Lake Rod Crafters has built them all AND better yet, uses everything they build.

 These Rods are built for the rigors of Salt-Water Fishing.  From Titanium Guides, Anodized Aluminum Reel Seats, and Specialty Rod Blanks, Fishing for those big fish is demanding so the need for top-quality equipment cannot be underestimated.  When you have a 50” Striped Bass on the end of your line, the last thing you want is to trust something from your local department store. 

These rods are for the "Big Boys" like you see being caught on your favorite TV shows.  600 pound plus Tuna - No Problem.  Pulling 1,000 pound swordfish off the bottom of the Ocean - No Problem.  These rods are beasts, but yet have the finesse that you need to reel in these giants.
