| Blanks | I select blanks from various manufacturers to meet your budget and the performance requirements you desire. |
| Handles | Many different handle types are available, both pre-made and custom. Handle materials include cork, EVA foam, composite grips (carbon fiber, fiberglass, etc.), wood, acrylic, and flocked foam. |
| Reel Seats | Casting rods are built using castaway fully exposed reel seats. Many other reel seat options are available including the 2-part Pac Bay Minima reel seats. Spinning rods use an in house, custom spinning seat that decreases weight and increases comfort. Factory reel seats and Tennesse Handles are also available. |
| Guides | I use guides manufactured by Fuji, Batson, and American Tackle. This allows optimum flexibility to meet your performance and price requirements. Offering multiple brands also extends our frame and ring material offerings. Most of my bass rods are built utilizing “micro” guides. These smaller than normal guides help reduce weight on the tip of the rod. This increases rod sensitivity and decreases angler fatigue.Properly spaced “micro” guides also increase casting distance. |
| Upgrades | The main focus at Hal’s Custom Rods is on weight reduction and performance. That doesn’t mean that extras that add some “bling” to your rod are not available. Some extras are purely cosmetic while others can enhance performance. Available options include, but are not limited to, tiger wraps, team decals and color schemes, snake skin inlays, multicolor guide wraps and trim bands, and custom inscriptions. |
