Custom Rods
A custom rod should feel like it was built for you — because it is.
At Reel Rods, every custom build starts with a conversation. From the rod blank and component selection right through to grip styles, wrap designs, colours, and finishing touches, we work alongside you to create something that suits both your style of fishing and your personality.
Some customers want a clean, simple rod built purely for function. Others want something a bit more personal — matching the colours of their boat, adding the boat name, a favourite saying, a special date, or even a heartfelt message for a gift. Whether it’s a rod to celebrate a milestone, remember someone special, or just create something uniquely yours, we can help bring the idea to life.
No two builds are exactly the same, and that’s what makes custom rods special. It’s not just about how the rod fishes — it’s about building something you genuinely connect with every time you pick it up.

Acid Wrap Slow Pitch Jig
One of our most popular rods, our Slow Pitch Jig Rods are built for anglers who appreciate quality gear that gets the job done. Lightweight, responsive, and tough where it counts, these rods are designed to give you a great balance of sensitivity and lifting power for slow pitch jigging.
Built on high-quality composite blanks, they let you feel every subtle touch while still having the backbone to handle solid fish. Finished with premium Alps guides and Fuji reel seats, every rod is built to fish hard and last.
Available in both 10–15lb and 15–20lb options, these rods feature a smooth parabolic action that keeps the rod loaded nicely through the fight. The flexible blank gives the rod a forgiving feel under pressure while still maintaining excellent control, making them a seriously fun rod to fish with.
Each rod is built with an acid wrap guide configuration, helping reduce rod torque when loaded and giving the rod a more balanced feel in the hand. It also helps improve sensitivity, making it easier to feel those small touches and subtle bites.
Every rod is carefully built to our specifications because the small details matter when you spend long days fishing. You can also customise your rod with your own choice of colours to make it uniquely yours.
Simple, dependable gear made by people who genuinely love fishing.
