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.

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.

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,

I tune reels for $15-$20, depending on the reel. I have been doing this since the age of 15 and I charge a fair price vs. competitors. I can get the reel(s) back to you within a few days after drop off. Thanks, pm me for more info

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 :))

That in His mercy I be judged as big enough to keep!!

Hey all, I need a few rods re-wrapped and to have the eyes replaced totally, I do not want to ship them and would like someone local to do it for me who has good experience. I am in the Clear Lake area of Houston, zip 77062. Please shoot me a PM if you can help me out. I can pay and I also have some nice gear I can trade as well.


Its not about how many fish you catch or how big they are, its about the memories you make catching those fish.

As always, tight lines!

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 would buy new ones, unless rod repair or builds is your hobby and you've got the time. Paying someone else certainly wouldn't be worth it, apart from sentimental value.

Our Scoutmaster for the last 8 years is stepping down. We want to get him a nice fishing rod and would like to get the Troop Patch, his name, and years of service added to the rod. I don't even know where to start. Anyone have any suggestions?

Still dabbling in reel repair and ugprades myself. Been at it for awhile. Most of my customers these days are old repeats but still get new ones occasionally. Don't have a formal business name like the others but offer the exact same service. Use only the best grease and oil that I can find after scouring countless forums and seeing what is regarded as the best. Anyways...

I guess I need to explain myself. I'm not looking to buy rod blanks. A good friend has passed away and I'm trying to help his widow recover some assets. I have about 20 blanks. Most with handles and reel seats already glued on that I would let go for below wholesale.
I would just throw something out there but they wont let me play in the classifieds because I don't post enough.

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
M843 med. 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
.410" med
.430" med. hvy

7' Casting with nothing attached - Qty. 2
2 piece Spinning Rod with nothing attached - Qty 1 .270" Ultra Lt
2 piece Spinning with premium cork handle, fore grip and Fuji reel seat attached - Qty 1 .290" Lt

Lefty Kreh 4 piece 7'3" 2 wt with handle and reel seat attached - Qty 1
Lefty Kreh Axiom 4 piece 9'0" 9 wt with nothing attached - Qty 1 Sold

I also have enough rod guides left to finish a few casting rods, cork handles, cork discs or spacers and thread to finish all of these that I will throw in with the deal.
I'm thinking for cost
1 - 5 for $60 - $70 each
5 - 10 for $ 50 - $60 each
10 -15 for $40 - $50 each

Someone please let me know if I am out of the ballpark with this because all I want out of this is to help her out and see his stuff go to good use. PM me or reply and we will work out a deal FTF only. Red Oak area 20 miles south of Dallas

Mods please don't delete. Help me do something right here.

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.

Looking for basic tips. Got an old late 70's early 80's graphite Fenwick rod that I really like that has been out of service for decades. I want to start using this rod again but has a broken guide and a loose guide needing a rewrap. I bought a turning machine and built a wrapping stand, slow cure epoxy, thread and so on. So I'm down to needing any input on turning speed for drying and epoxy re coat times and tips. thanks

I added a cork grip in front of the reel seat on an older G rod. I split the cork grip and glued in place , My problem is a gap running the length of the grip,
about 1/16 of an inch. What would be the best product to fill this gap ? I am thinking it is some that will set up hard and be able to sand down.

I don't care what it looks like , will probably cover the whole mess with grip tape. But I think it will feel funny if it is not filled in.

Thanks folks

I’m excited to announce that I’ve started offering rod repairs and customizations on the side under the name Mesquite Rod Company, located in Canton, Texas! If you have a fishing rod that needs some TLC or if you’re looking for a custom touch, I would love to help.

Feel free to send me a PM if you’re interested. I’m happy to discuss your needs and ensure you’re out on the water with gear that’s as good as new (or even better)!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
