I build them because they look great and they are much better then any store bought rod

Thumbs up if you want to see Ryan again.

If you snap your fingers one more time...

When you really feel the difference in custom rods is when you fish the big fish, cos the rods fit your hand n usually lighter n more balanced for the long fight. On a long range boat there’s no mistaken identity of taking your tod.

As a custom rod builders I'm gonna be kinda biased, obviously. True reason to buy custom over production, QUALITY. You said quality fuji guides when clearly those are bargain bin bottom shelf aluminum oxide and stainless on that $120 production rod. On my $120 builds I at least do zirconium. Only reason the buy production..... availability and convenience..... Not every rod builder will strip a broke blank for FREE and at cost rebuild your custom blank. Big manufactures make about 40 percent profit on store bought rods over $99 and the store markup is even more, support your custom rod builders like us at Jelsma Rod Co. Because we want you to have the best equipment possible at a reasonable price. Most of our builds we make a little less than 7 percent profit, your dollar goes way farther. Also if you like a production rod buy it, send to us to upgrade. we wrap guides at $10 a foot, and double foot guides are $17 for wrapping. Call or email for anything custom we quote same day. Great vid guys keep it up.

However if you break a custom rod then most of the time it is the blanks fault since they’re built on spine which can help strength. If one of my customers breaks a rod on a fish I’ll strip it for free and get a new blank and build that one at cost of materials. If they slam it in the tailgate of a truck then that’s on them

I have a Juno bait rod and I love it

Professionally I deal with very expensive production items. We build "custom" models in development of the production dedign. Almost always the "custom" design reveals some fatal flaw. Before spending big bucks for a custom rod, I would want to see the history of the custom builder, particularly since it's nearly impractical to get warranty service. Bottom line: I think the cost of two production rods vs one custom rod, pushes my decision to production and let my ego go without "my specifications". The fish certainly don't care and my concern is fish in the boat. Great Tackle Tuesday. Thanks.

I wish they made custom reels becuz I honestly spend a lot more on my reels than on my rods but do u know anyone who makes custom reels tho?

Thanks for the info, was very helpful. Keep up the great work.

Greatest KZfaq channel that exist

Nice video bro very informative 👍🏻

Custom rods look so much better I have been building rods for 20 years the most important thing is the fact that they last and look good while doing so. Store bought rods don't last and have lots of mestakes in the blanks that u can't see.

I was waiting for Ryan to do "two snap in a circle." LOL

good info .. prefer custom Rods ... all my rods are custom

Everything depends if you want something unique and the components you use ... It is something that is personal.

Unsubscribe Landshark - Subscribe Ryan. LOL. Some day I will build my own. Same with flies.

what rod would you recommend for a penn senator 12/0? keep up the good work, great channel

Tell Ryan F off! Hahaha nah he did great,I'm thinking about making my own rods now.thank you Ryan.

thats why i build my own rods i dont need to pay anyone to rebuild them

Nice I usually get a Berkeley lightning rod or some Bass Pro Shops rod that's cheap Lol.

love Ryans videos! (still love yours)

That dude was stoned :) just kidding.

Informative.

Not sure if I got lucky or what but I fish a custom Barrett rod and it broke, I just brought it back to him and he re built it free of charge.

notification squad awesome video Victor

If I ever had a custom rod I don’t think I would be able to fish it I wouldn’t want to break it

What is with the 1980’s couch ?????

If you pay 600$ for any rod I have oceanfront property in Arizona and you probably go for it

I love my Ugly Sticks!

Anyone kno the price range of these rods?

lol his hand motions

bro Halloween is in October LOL.

No, they are not. Unless you want to be flashy or have that cosmetic touch. Custom rods normally do not have any advantage over quality modern production rods. Take it from someone who's been fishing for over a decade and already tried that coolaid.
