All of my rods were wrapped by Bill at Saltydawg Rods. They are all well crafted and look great. No matter what color or pattern you desire for your custom fishing rod, Bill at Saltydawg Rods can get it done and make it look great!
My rods work like no other rod that I have fished. I’ve had rods made from CBs custom tackle back in the day and everyone in between. With over 257 rods in my stock pile, these last rods from Bill are no question some of the finest crafted fish catching sticks I have ever tossed in the water.
The action and backbone is unreal, Bills rods are 100% everything I was looking for. Thanks bill and the turn around was as fast as one could ask for..
Bill has wrapped and rewrapped several sticks for me. he always goes above and beyond what I asked for and his work is awesome. restoration of older rods and wrapping of new blanks he can do it all. Thanks Bill for all the work.
I had an old relic. It was a beat up something or other 9 1/2 foot glass noodle. Bill did a restoration on it that was truly amazing. He refinished the blank and it looks like new. The finish on the wraps is impeccable…best I have ever seen.
The first fish on it was a nice 12# dorado, and it performed perfectly paired up with an old Penn Surfcaster and 20# pink Ande. Sorry no bendo shots yet. Thanks again Bill. It is exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be giving you a call soon about doing some more rods for me.
I probably dont qualify as a customer testimonial but I can attest to the fine workmanship you put into your rods. I have watched and looked at your work for some time now. I have to applaud your work and skills as some of the best now available in our craft. Keep em coming Dawg. Doc Ski
This is Rod number 3, the CAMO ROD. The weight is near none, the handles and grips are just right. I told Bill, here make me a spottie rod for the south bay, then he walked away. A few weeks later he showed up with a master piece
built like I have never seen. Carbon Fiber grips, pistol grip reel seat and a como wrap that i have never seen.
The balance in the rod is matched by no other and it loves to go bend-O.
Thanks Bill for yet another great built on a GUSA blank.
this rod with the carbonfiber grips allows more power for casting. This rod and the camo rod both with CARBONFIBER grips allows for at least 30 more feet in casting distance.
With the CARBONFIBER BUTT GRIP, this allows for more presure being added to the cast, unlike Hyp or foam grip that dis places the energy when power casting, these carbongrips allow for ZERO displacment of the engery and in turn all the power is in the butt and my casts are alot farther.
Whne fishing the shallows or flats, if your boat draws alot of water, you need to cast farther, No question Bills rods give you the advantage like no other
Bill you did a terific job on the bay bass rod for me. The thing is light as a feather and so sensitive. Oh yeah first fish on new rod was a nice Bonefish!
Was looking over your gallery and must say WOW you are turning out some awesome rods!
Bill makes incredible rods that not only look perfect they WORK perfect. He made me a kelp stick that is my go to rod for calico. He must have some good JuJu as well cause the first fish on the rod was a pig calico, pic is in the gallery… Thanks Bill
