REEL TECH CUSTOM for my nephew Ryan’s 8th Birthday
It was my nephew Ryan’s 8th birthday this past weekend and I decided to make him his own custom fishing rod. He has come such a long way in his fishing ability and his passion continues to grow which makes this uncle VERY happy. His Dad got him a brand new Symetre 2500 for his birthday to put on this rod. Ryan was so excited for his first fishing outfit, and is excited to continue to learn more and more about fishing. Tight lines Ryan…..I am a very fortunate and a proud uncle!

REEL TECH CUSTOM FISHING ROD – IN ACTION
Here is a long time friend and customer getting it done in So-Cal with a Reel Tech Custom. We designed this build to be used for a light surf fishing stick. He absolutely loves the rod and has been catching LOTS of fish on it.
Just what Paul wanted…..A light action surf rod. We designed this build with a Rogue 7’6″ 4-8# one piece blank, Black REC Titanium Guides, and a split grip cork handle with a Fuji VSS Reel Seat. I love seeing my creations being put to use, especially with a band in them, and smiles on the customers faces 🙂
