Coastal Bend Custom Rods is based in Jonestown, TX on the north shore of Lake Travis. I build completely custom bass, bay, and offshore rods. I don't limit my builds to any brands, so if you can imagine it, I'll do my best to make it happen. I also do repairs, and sell the full line of Phenix blanks. My rod gallery is at:

Shockwave Rods is located on the bank of Toledo Bend in Hemphill TX where we build "no frills" task specific bass rods for good fishermen. We are credited with being one of the first builders to use micro guides over three years ago and have been involved with several manufacturers that were the first to introduce micro guides to the market place.

Please visit out website at www.shockwaverods.com for all contact information as well as information about our custom rods.

Re: Custom Rod Builders, Rod Repair, and Reel Cleaning - 02/17/10 01:45 AM

I build custom fly, spinning, and baitcasting rods. I have been building since 1995 and I specialize in rods for inshore saltwater fishing. I specialize in fly rods (mostly 7,8, and 9-weight) and spinning rods as well as baitcasting rods for the wade fisherman. I also do rod repair as well. I am located outside of Austin, TX on Lake Travis.

I build rods out of my house by word of mouth so I don't have a place of business or advertise much. My style of rods are just simple and elegant looking rods built to perfection, but I can build anything a customer wants. Wait time is 10 days from the place of order of the rod to when it is completed. And 2 days to ship.

I also replace guides on a rod if it is a guide or two at no charge except for the cost of the components, so it is a very minimal cost.

Re: Custom Rod Builders, Rod Repair, and Reel Cleaning - 06/10/11 07:16 PM

I am retired and have some time on my hands and would like to build some rods for my personal use, not to sell. I am not wanting to compete with anyone for rod sales. Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn what I will need to start? I bought a rod from a guy 25 years ago that was the very best topwater rod I have ever used. It was one of the first with a long handle. The bottom part of the handle broke off which made casting with two hands impossible. I would love to build a rod that could replicate what this rod could do. I would appreciate any pm or any help in this matter. Thanks.

Paul D. Hudspeth is a Texan named after his Greek fisherman (Pa Paw) Paul Vellas. He's making custom rods now south of San Antonio. He and I used to fish the Intercoastal Canal south of Port A when we were kids in our dad's boats. Then when older I'd meet him in Rockport at his place there, when I lived in Houston. He had a fine Boston Whaler. His pa paw made some corks out of buoyant wood when we were teens and we and our dads tried to duplicate them since they were magical. We were almost successful. We would use these to "free shrimp" out of our boats. I've gutted a lot of fish with this fisherman. His brand is San Pedro Custom Rods. Here is his email....

Migizi Fishing Rods
Custom high-end big game fishing rods

Here is a custom real rattle snake skin inlay with exotic feather weave on each end that can be custom made on any of the 15 different rod models I have.


After years of working as a professional fishing guide, Vince Weirick knew what he needed in a rod. Only a handcrafted fishing rod made in America, composed of the finest components, would do. So Weirick brings you Migizi, which translates to "Bald Eagle" in Native American. Migizi Rods are American originals, rods built to the highest standards.

No more over-paying for rod brands that live off their name and cut corners with inferior components. Migizi Rods are made with superior materials. Rods are available in either E-glass composite or mid-to-high modulus graphite that are both strong and highly sensitive.

Migizi rods by Vince Weirick carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty and are backed by Migizis VIP Customer Service. They are all proudly handcrafted in the USA. The amount of pride built into our products is demonstrated in each rod we produce.

Our High Modulus series come equipped with CNC machined nitrite-coated stainless steel guides, which are light weight and smooth. They give less resistance and less wear on your fishing line.

Our trolling models have heavy duty, stainless steel rings and frames that withstand day-to-day use and abuse without failure. The rods also come equipped with a chromed brass machined reel seat. The nine-foot trolling model has a graphite-cushioned hood that prevents electrolysis corrosion.

The guides on all of our rods work well with all fishing lines, including braids. And casting models are comfortable because of their larger cork handles for better ergonomics.

Migizi Rods by Vince Weirick are built with craftsmanship that big game fishermen can trust. Weirick wouldnt fish with anything less and neither should you!

Please visit my website in my signagture for more information.

Thanks,

Whether you are a seasoned fisher, or buying your first rod, when you want the perfect fishing rod storage space, the RodMaster is the best product you can buy. And, in addition to keeping your rods, reels, and gear neatly organized, safe from damage, and in one easy to find place, the RodMaster is also extremely affordable. So, whether you own one rod, or one for each type of fishing you do, for all your fishing rod storage needs you will find the RodMaster to be your best bet.

I have been repairing rods and making custom rods since 1969. I take great pride in my work. My goal is to make a repair so that you can't tell where the rod has been repaired.
Single foot guide replacement $8.99, Double foot guides $9.99. I do a lot of handle replacements and extensions. Custom salt or fresh water rods start at $199 and includes personalized decals and quality components. Pick up and delivery available. References available (as many as you want :))

Looking for 4 custom built rods near the DFW area, as I cant seem to find stock rods that fit my needs that are not astronomically expensive.

2 matching would be 8'6"-9' kinda like a musky rod. The other 2 would be more like surf rods of the same length, but a bit heavier. PM me if anyone is interested.

Much Thanks.

I am trying to help the Widow of an old buddy who recently passed away recover some assets from his stuff. I have a total of 14 rod blanks left that are in med. light to med. heavy actions as follows.

MHX High Modulas
Casting Rods - 7' with full premium cork handles, fore grips and Fuji reel seats attached - Qty 5
CB847-BLEND-M hvy mod. fast Crank Handles and reel seats not attached
HM-P844 - MHX med. hvy. Popping Handles and reel seats not attached
MB-844 hvy. Mag

Elite Pro med. Fast
CB843 med. Crank Blend
P844 med. hvy. Popping
Spinning Rods - 7' with full premium cork handles, fore grips and Fuji reel seats attached - Qty 4
These have no visible markings on them. Measured in front of the foregrip. I'm guessing at the weight.
.300" Lt
.355" med. Lt

Looking for someone local to DFW area ( I live in Watauga) for some rod repair.

I have a Dobyns Fury casting rod that needs a new tip,

I have a Shimano Intenza casting rod that needs a new ceramic guide insert on the tip,

and a Falcon HD spinning rod that needs a new tip.

Shoot me a direct message on here, or you can also text me @ 817-nine eight zero-1238 (Ray)

I know I could probably send these in on warranty to get repaired, but I figured out would reach out to someone local so I wouldn't have to deal with shipping issues/delays/etc....

How to fix???? This is by far my favorite rod....it’s a Shimano Crucial and the EVA foam grip has come loose. The grip itself is not torn. I was thinking of trying to re-glue it back, I can’t get all of the old glue out of the handle. I’m not opposed to having someone fix it. They just need to be local. I’m in Dallas. Any thoughts?????[Linked Image]

I think you can glue it back. Just try to clean off the old glue and then re-glue with some rod builders epoxy glue. I got two rods that I need to repair and that is what Im going to do. I ordered a small amount 40 minute epoxy glue from Mudhole.com. I sent them a picture of my worse rod and that's what they told me to do to fix it.

I was thinking about trying that. Barlow’s is right down the street from me. I also had the thought of just cutting it off and putting a Winn wrap on it. Thanks

In Rockport you have Smith Custom Rods at 830-708-8889 for custom build or repair. Also in Rockport there's Riekers and Sons for a custom build or repair at (469) 267-9196. I have a full custom rod from each as well as a repaired rod from each and they're all fantastic. The only reason to go with one over the other is probably turn-around time, you never know which one is able to get it done quicker.
