A little river.
A little salt.
A lot of Texas.
We fish the creeks, rivers, lakes, and coastlines our rods are made for. Every build starts with that water—and the person standing in it.

A SMALL SHOP WITH HOME WATER
The fishing comes first.
The rod follows.
Guadalupe Rod Co grew out of fishing the same Texas water our customers love. We handcraft rods in New Braunfels and help anglers, new or experienced, find a setup that makes their time outside more enjoyable.
Every rod is assembled, wrapped, finished, and inspected by hand. Our signature builds start with imported blanks; upgraded and domestic options are available when your water calls for something different.
Bring us a finished parts list, a rod that never felt quite right, or simply a favorite stretch of water. You bring the fishing. We’ll help with the rod.
