CONNECT. Growing up on the West Coast of BC, with an abundance of lakes, rivers and streams, fishing has always been a part of who I am. From a young age, I knew what gear I liked and how rods should perform. I thought about how I could improve the rods that I owned. As my passion for this craft evolved, I began disassembling high end rods and replacing components with superior products and customizing them to my style of fishing.
The first time I built a rod from start to finish I realized this was something I truly enjoyed. Blacktail Rod Company was created to provide custom built rods for your style of fishing.

Had a matching pair of ‘Dino Hunter’ sturgeon rods built by Joe. These things are tough as hell!
I own a few Blacktail Rods. These are now my favorite rods to fish with. He built them with my style of fishing in mind.
