Rod Building & Custom Rod Parts
As we are situated centrally to Lake Ontario, Erie and Huron, and the corresponding inland watersheds, we build on any blank for Float, Fly, Spin, and or Baitcast.
Be it a custom 11 to 13’ Float Rod for fishing the Nine Mile or Big Head River, a baitcast with a twist for migratory steelhead on the Niagara, Saugeen or Maitland River, or a custom Fly rod for the Grand or Credit River locally, we will assist in your needs.
Whether you need a minor rod repair, or a specialized custom rod build, Hook Line and Sinker and The First Cast can complete the build to your exacting specifications. Our rod builders have years of experience in the industry and can repair almost any break with minimal cosmetic distractions. From custom cork designs using burl inserts and triple grade Portuguese AAA Cork Rings to custom wooden reel seats and butt caps we have the technology !!
Most damaged rods are able to be repaired – one just has to decide whether it’s for sentimental value or to keep a “lucky stick” still in commission.
Customization only stops at your creativity and pocket book constraints.
If we do inventory what you are looking for in terms of components, let us know and we will see if we can get it for you.
