Traditions Custom Rods started off as a dream between my father and I during one of our many fishing trips together a few years ago. Like any other fisherman, we bought our share of fishing rods, but were never truly satisfied with what we could buy off the shelf. Either the action was too soft, the length too long, or the overall weight too heavy. But, we persisted and used what was available fro
m the major manufacturers at the time. In 2013, I was introduced to the world of custom rod building. It was then that I was introduced to different custom rod builders and saw that there was a whole other world of rods that I never knew about. Since then, I have been creating my own line of rods, selling to both friends and family. The enjoyment of using a rod that was specifically hand-crafted for me and my style of fishing, using premium parts, far surpassed anything that I had ever fished with before. I want to share this passion with you and help you enjoy the sport of fishing the way that I have with my father. I’m not a major manufacturer, mass producing rods and selling them in the big-box stores. I hand craft each rod, individually, one at a time, testing for ideal weight distribution between the handle and tip, guide placement and alignment, as well as making sure that my thread wraps are tight and even and that my epoxy work is clean and consistent. Let me work with you to help design your next rod and start a new “Tradition” in your family with a rod that you will be proud to hand down to either your son or daughter. Thanks for looking and I hope that I can help you start a “Tradition” with one of my rods.
