A 7ft MH Fast casting rod is hard to beat for a texas rigged worm rod! I've got a feeling that this rod is going to see a lot of BIG bass down on Toledo Bend!

Yep, you heard that right. This rod is headed down to the Texas/Louisiana border for some Toledo Bend worm fishing in the brush! The ClarKustomz footprint has now expanded from just Iowa anglers to upstate New York, Mississippi, and now Louisiana! Thank you to everyone for spreading the word of how great a KUSTOM rod truly is!

A KUSTOM Quiver and a Shimano Miravel 3000 are a match made in Heaven!

Did you know that there are advantages to buying a reel from me with your KUSTOM rod? Doing so allows me to fine tune your rod to match your reel and line preference by adjusting the guide sizing and spacing to control your line more effectively thus eliminating friction and line slap to increase casting distance. It also allows me to adjust the balance of the rod to achieve the perfect balance with the reel. Who doesn't want maximum performance out of their setup?!?!

It's hard to ask for a better rod than one built on an NFC Xray C602! Had a request to make a rod to match a new boat, and I'd say I knocked it out of the park with this one!

The KUSTOM rodz got put to work this weekend! Joe Zuchniak put his Premier KUSTOM Jaw Jacker to work and boated a 4+lb pig on a jig. I was able to test out a new chatterbait rod, a 7ft 2in H MF, that worked out beautifully and helped boat a few quality fish. Then to top it off, I found a school of BIGS that wanted to munch on a big jig, so I picked up what I call my MEAT stick and put the hammer to them.

I havent had much time this summer to work on rods but I recently completed an order for a buddy and his girlfriend back home for some special rods that I had a lot of fun building.
The Bean Pole is a rod to commemorate their recently lost pup, Gene.
The Intimate Stubby is a 6ft 2in Light Medium Heavy with an ultra short grip for getting up close and personal to cover

I couldn't help but notice something in the most recent cover of the Bassmaster magazine. Do you see the sharp bend in the line where the rod is doubled over? That is due to a poor guide train layout. That bend in the line is a potential failure point when fighting a big fish (causes increased friction). All ClarKustomz rodz are tested individually to ensure there are no drastic bends in the line when the rod is under load to ensure you have the highest chance of landing that fish of a lifetime!
