LIMITED RUNS · STARTING AT $425

A small run. A specific purpose.

A limited run starts with a real Texas fishing problem—coastal wind, tight creek cover, trout-season rigs, or something equally specific. We choose the blank and components for that job, share every detail up front, then handcraft the rods in New Braunfels.

Approximately 4 releases each year · Average 30–60 day build window

WHY LIMITED RUNS

What goes into a limited run?

01

High-performance blanks

We choose a higher-grade blank for the fishing that run is intended to do, then share the specifications before you reserve.

02

Upgraded components

Guides, grips, reel seats, and other components are selected to match the blank and intended use. You’ll see the full list before ordering.

03

A build you can review up front

You can review the complete build before you commit. Any name or accent-color options will be listed with the release.

ONE SPECIFICATION · LIMITED QUANTITY

A run starts with a fishing need.

A run might be a rod for a particular season, an upgraded version of a signature build, or something more specialized. We’ll tell you what it is for and why we chose that setup.

  • Seasonal purpose: a timely fishery, target species, water condition, or presentation.
  • Defined build spec: blank, guides, grip, hardware, insert, and wrap direction selected before release.
  • Limited personalization: when offered, customers may add a name and select one accent thread color.
