Rob O Rods I have been building custom fishing rods since 2017. I start out with a high quality rod blank and let my imagination go from there.

I have custom built rods specifically for Fluke, Sea Bass, Stripers, Blues, Trout, Bass, and Salmon and Steelhead.

Black Sea Bass Limits Just Increased! Here's What Your State Gets in 2026: https://onthewater.com/black-sea-bass-regulations

the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) has approved up to a 20% increase in the black sea bass harvest for 2026. That means more fish in the cooler — but exactly how many depends on your state. Breakdown at the link in bio.

I just wanted to update everyone.

I am going to take a break from building rods for a bit.. I have too many other things going on currently and need to take a creative break.

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

I had a chance to fish with Kingfisher Charters on Sunday for some Black Sea Bass in Long Island Sound.

What a fantastic trip!

Captain Mark Anderson put us right on the fish. We had jumbo size keepers coming over the rail immediately. Once the bite slowed, he would move us to another spot and the bite was on again. Captain Mark was not afraid to move around to keep the action hot. We had our boat limit of fish in a couple of hours.

The boat was extremely clean and they kept it that way all through the day. Pete, who was mating that day, would spray down the boat numerous times while moving between drifts to make sure it was clean and no one was getting any squid juice or blood on themselves. Bait was plentiful and cut into good size strips.

The boat also has two new 250hp engines that made the trip out to the fishing grounds super fast and smooth.

Overall a fantastic day on the water and I highly recommend Kingfisher Charters out of Old Saybrook, CT.

Here is a cool ultralight trout rod for a friend of mine who has a couple of my other custom rods. This UL rod has carbon fiber grips and a cool looking green metallic thread pattern.

I really wish I could take better and brighter videos. My phone just does not take the kind of videos my rods deserve.

An 11.5 foot bait-caster steelhead rod built for a buddy of mine who lives in Canada. He wanted carbon fiber grips and he likes a low key look. I struggled with the low key black and silver as I like my builds to stand out with lots of pop and color.. needless to say he loved the rod.

Love the way the epoxy turned out on this spinning rod!

Building a new rod for myself.

This rod is not only going to be sensitive but very powerful and looks great in the sun.

Sorry about the motor noise.
