Custom Fishing Rod Builder

This is where your Prolite custom fishing rod begins. Tell us how you fish, what you’re targeting, and what you want the rod to do, and we’ll design a build that fits your technique and preferences.

You don’t need to know every specification to get started. If you’re new to custom rods, fill out what you can and use the notes section to describe how you fish and what you want improved. We’ll follow up to confirm details, pricing, availability, and timing before anything moves forward.


How the Custom Rod Builder Works

  1. Fill out the form below with your contact info and build details.
  2. Describe how and where you fish so we can recommend the right blank and components.
  3. We review your request and follow up with any clarifying questions.
  4. You receive a clear quote for parts and labor before the build begins.
  5. Once payment is received, your rod is scheduled into the Prolite build queue.

The more detail you provide, the easier it is for us to dial in the right blank, layout, and components. If something is unknown, leave it blank and explain the result you’re trying to achieve on the water.

A Meaningful Custom Option

Memorial Ash Fishing Rods

For some anglers, performance is only part of the story. If you’d like to honor a loved one, we can respectfully incorporate a small amount of memorial ashes into a fishing rod in a subtle, permanent way.

  • Existing rod or new build: We can work with a rod you already own or build a new custom rod from the ground up.
  • Epoxy integration: A small amount can be mixed into epoxy and applied to areas like the label zone or wraps, often paired with a name or short quote.
  • Butt section memorial: Ashes can be sealed into the butt section so they’re protected and always with you on the water.
  • Handled with care: Any unused ashes are returned securely, and the process is handled privately and respectfully.

If this is something you’re considering, simply mention it in the notes section of your build request. We’ll walk through the details with you privately before anything is committed.

What Helps Us Build the Right Rod

  • Target species and typical water such as rivers, lakes, or saltwater.
  • Primary technique like trolling, drifting, float fishing, jigging, or casting.
  • Preferred line type and line rating.
  • Rod length, power, and action if you know them.
  • Handle and grip preferences such as split or full grips.
  • A rod you already like and what you want improved.
  • Left or right hand preferences for reel seat orientation.

If you’re unsure about any of this, just describe how you fish and what you want the rod to feel like when it loads up. Our goal is to build a rod that feels natural in your hands and performs the way you expect on the water.

What Happens After You Submit

  1. We review your request and follow up if clarification is needed.

  3. You receive final pricing and an invoice by email.
  4. Once payment is received, your rod is scheduled for build.
  5. When complete, we arrange pickup or ship it securely to your door.

Prefer to Talk First?

If you’d rather talk through your custom rod build before filling out the form, that’s completely fine. Many Prolite rods start with a short conversation about how you fish and what you want the rod to do, then we handle the details from there.
