02 / A SMALL TEXAS SHOP

No assembly line.
Just a workbench.

We build rods for the water we actually fish. Brushy creeks. Guadalupe runs. Bass water. The Texas coast.

Every rod is assembled, wrapped, finished, and inspected by hand in New Braunfels. Bring us exact specs or just a favorite stretch of river. We’ll take it from there.
