Custom Lamiglas Surf Fishing Rods by Eastern Rodworks - GSB1321M Old School Sometimes, guys don't want to give up the rod they've been using and catching on for the past 10+ years. Dan was no exception, and while he was perfectly happy with his original Lamiglas GSB series, he wanted to try the new guide layouts that have become standard on most builds. This build is a great example of what one of our standard models looks like; top quality components, clean wraps and finish

Over the past few years, Fiberstar Composites has become a popular surf rod choice for anglers along the East Coast. Without question, the most commonly asked about model is the MB1327, also known as the "Montauk Marauder". This blank was designed to handle the variety of conditions and plugs that are associated with fishing in Montauk...One minute you can be casting a 3oz pencil popper on a sand beach, the next could require a 3/4oz bucktail to be gently casted 40 feet in fr

I was happy to deliver another Lamiglas GSB1201M Old School to a customer from Massachusetts recently. Justin was looking for a versatile rod to use anywhere along the New England coast, from Rhode Island to the Cape Cod Canal, and after talking about what he liked/disliked about rods in arsenal, we settled on the Lamiglas GSB series. This build features x pattern shrink tube fore/rear grips over cork tape, Fuji DNPSD reel seat, and Fuji Alconite K guides. The neon green, bla

Considered by many to be one of the best Blackfish and bottom fishing rods of all time, the Lamiglas 1143F has been a favorite among anglers for decades. Reintroduced into the Lamiglas line up in early 2017, this rod is the perfect choice for anglers who prefer a slower/moderate action rod for their bottom fishing needs. A slower action blank is a perfect choice for braided lines, while also giving that double digit blackfish a split second longer to position the crab before

Black Hole is known for making some of the lightest and most sensitive rods on the market today, with the Challenger series being a favorite among local anglers. These blanks weigh a mere 2-3oz prior to being built and feature a soft tip, but don't let that fool you. These blanks can deadlift 10-20 lbs with ease, so they're plenty capable of pulling that big Sea Bass, Fluke, Cod, or Blackfish off the bottom and over the gunwale. This build starts with a Black Hole Challenger

It was a pleasure to make this beautiful Lamiglas Tri-Flex Inshore for Patty, who will use the rod for general purpose bottom fishing around Montauk and Long Island Sound. The build starts with a Lamiglas Tri-Flex blank, which is a series of composite rod blanks that feature the best characteristics of graphite (lightweight and power) and fiberglass (durability and softness) to produce one of the best all around inshore rods on the market. Shaped hypalon grips and a polished

I was happy to deliver another CTS Vapor Trail to a repeat customer in Martha's Vineyard recently. Modeled after another Vapor Trail I made for him in 2015, this build features Fuji Silicone Carbide K guides, Infinity style shrink tube grips, and a Star/Snowflake decorative wrap. The rod will be used extensively this fall in the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby; I hope it puts a winner on the sand for you Ned! The CTS Vapor Trail blanks represent some of the li

With wire line trolling once again gaining in popularity, I've started to build a number of trolling rods designed specifically for customers using parachutes, bunker spoons, and mojo rigs. This set of custom wire line rods starts with a pair of Seeker BA115 fiberglass blanks, which were sanded/polished to a matte finish. The handles utilize graphite gimbals, slick butts and Heavy Duty Fuji Seat with shaped burl fore grips. Guides are traditional carbide ring models capable o
