    I made my first rod in 1987. I wanted a rod that I could bait fish with but was strong enough to jig. I got my first blanks from the Western Mass. Sportsman Show and the rest of my supplies from Rod Components in Homestead, Florida.

    I found a copy of Dale Clemens Advanced Custom Rods at the library and I was hooked. I must have wrapped and re-wrapped my first blank a dozen times because I couldn't get enough of it. After a couple of successful fishing trips I had people asking me to build them a rod like mine.

    I have stuck to my rule since the first rod: only quality materials applied properly.

    I've made numerous freshwater rods and fly rods over the years but my favorite is the Jigging Stick. Something about building these rods has my mind drifting along Jefferies Ledge thinking about a catching a fish a cast and doing what I love.
