Custom Fly Rods
Quite often, a specific rod will not suite your needs, or you need a rod for a special event. Our custom rods are available in both our standard rod lengths and weights, but also as completely custom rods. This includes special application length/weight combinations as well as special components that can be engraved.

All Shields River Rods custom rods take 2-3 months time to receive, but when you receive it, you will find it to become your favorite fishing rod.

Prices range, and will vary with choices and options. Most completely custom rods are $525.00, but our Premium is available at $700.00 with special features. Email us for more information.
