Rod's Bent Customs. Since 2010. Bradenton, FL and Beloit, WI. Christopher "Tank" Bohr. Retired. Now Biker & Rod Builder. Lifelong fisherman, lifelong passion.

Rod's built with intent. I'm often reminded that all the frilly-artsy threadwork doesn't catch fish. And, I'm quick to agree with them. Correct, I'll say "the fish don't care what the darn rod looks like". That being said, the person holding the rod probably will, especially if it brings them pleasure when using it. I take great care when building a rod, from consultation to inception, designing, constructing then finishing. Each grip that I hand craft. Every color combination that I select. Each placement of every grip and guide that is 'tuned' to the blank for form and function. Every thread design. All regarded with care and respect. This, in my opinion, translates into the spirit of the build, which becomes part of that rod's design. The joy the rod brings to the client that ordered it or the person who receives it as a gift benefits from the positive energy contained in its soul. This Joy translates down through the rod, the line, the Tackle/bait/lure. The fish respond to this positivity too but than it's too late! They're caught. All because of the frilly-artsy threadwork.
