cpr custom rods
Thank you for considering a CPR Custom Spinning Rod. I consider spinning rods for bass, smallmouth bass in particular, as my specialty. Your new technique specific spinning rod will be the perfect combination of distinct style and performance. Only the highest quality materials and components will be used to make your rod as light, sensitive and durable as is possible. Each rod will be tailored for any number of intended techniques such as soft plastics, hard jerk baits, or crankbaits. I prefer to use St.Croix, Batson, or Lamiglas blanks although there are many other rod blanks available that will be considered based on the specific design of the rod. Guides and reel seats will be selected from the catalogs of Fuji, Batson, and American Tackle.

SPECIALTY RODS

Hard Jerk Bait Stick

This rod came about out of my own frustration over working hard jerk baits with a full handled rod or a split grip rod with a full sized butt cap. Smallmouths love HJB's worked with a hard and fast action. It always bothered me that when I worked these baits in that manor the thicker butt would slap me in the forearm. This handle style elimantes that problem due to the slim butt cap. It also makes the rod lighter and easier to work with the rod tip down. This rod can be built as either a spinning or casting rod and will be sized to the length best suited for your height and fishing platform.

Kayak Rod

Short handle to keep from hanging up on your PFD. Overall length long enough to allow the line to clear the front of the kayak but short enough to not catch on every low hanging branch while drifting along tree lined banks. A perfectly designed and built rod to suit your watercraft and fishing style will certainly enhance your success, comfort and fishing experience.
