Saltwater Rods

The rods presented below cover nearly every situation a person might encounter in the saltwater environment outside of chasing large pelagic species. However, I do have experience building pelagic rods. All of these rods feature solid titanium reel seats and stripping guides given titanium's saltwater proof nature; all other components are also saltwater safe. The titanium reel seat components do add cost to each rod and to reduce costs I also offer saltwater safe aluminum reel seat parts. Although most companies don't feature wood on their saltwater rods, I do as the stabilized wood I use is saltwater safe and adds uniqueness and beauty to each rod.

The two switch rods presented below are both intended for two hand overhead casting (although they will both spey cast wonderfully with the right line system) in the saltwater environment. If ultimate distance and minimal physical effort is sought, these are the rods for you.

Please discuss customization with me which includes choosing from our large selection of woods. Price is for the options listed below (not including shipping) and can include an optional feather inlay for an additional $100. Click on the handle type for each model to see a picture of the standard approach to handles for that type of rod.
