"You're Always happier when your Rod's bent"

Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois and Central/South West Florida. We ship too

Meet Malorie Ann, posing with a one-off, 3-piece MHX TR904-3 travel rod, Fuji BCKFLG Fazlite hi-frame spinning guides, American Tackle Aero-Comfort 18 reel seat, custom 60% density-foam EVA grips, built exclusively for her. The rod utilizes a new guide train concept, a Reverse Acid-wrap w/spinning guides, which results reduced friction and line chatter, and a marked improvement in casting accuracy. Malorie Ann is an accomplished Outdoorswoman based out of TX. You can find Malorie on YouTube at @outdoorsmal007 or see her on Naked & Afraid.

We Are Rod's Bent Customs

Custom fishing rods, hand-crafted to suit your specific needs, type of fishing or targeted fish selection. Each build requires an initial consultation and, depending on the build, in-person measuring and fitment. We craft a finite amount of rods every year, balancing our time between Wisconsin and Florida. Rods are built on a first scheduled first served basis (so get your order on our books), allowing approximately 2 weeks from start to finish, once components have been sourced and recieved. Deep water, Trolling and Surf rods require more time. A deposit is required to start your build.
