Custom Fishing Rods
« on: January 20, 2015, 02:44:59 PM »
Anyone on here build fishing rods  :dunno:

Or and can anyone recomend a rod builder in the Tacoma area?

Im playing with the idea of having a rod built if I cant find the one I really want.

Not close but you could commision Greg at Gregs Custom Rods in Lake Stevens to build you one. Pretty easy to ship it in a tube.

I know a guy, but he only builds a few types of rods.  With the wide selection out there now I'd be surprised if you can't find the "right" rod.  What are you looking for?

I would like an 8'ish UL rod for koke fishing.

Im looking for what I want online, but I could not find one, rod building is always an option.

I have a pair of great koke rods in that length.  Can't remember the brand or model - will check either tonight or tomorrow and report back. 

They might be for sale for an excellent price, too...

But if they don't float your boat, I agree with H20 that Greg is the man for Kokanee gear.

Chris....I might be interested in those rods if you are looking to unload them. I could use two more to compliment my current koke killers.

Gonna be look and talking with people at teh Sportsmens show about fishing Kokes and checking out UL rods.

Kokes are new to me so I am on a mission to master Koke fishing  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I know, thats not possible, but it gives me a good  chuckle.

Will shoot you a PM tonight.

Careful - getting into kokanee fishing is only slightly less addicting than crack cocaine.
