bill do you make any offshore rods or just mostly inshore fresh water casting rods? im looking at something along the line of a stand up rod, roller guides, 6'10'', aluminum butt plate with gimbals,130 class. looking to get one for my father in law he has plenty rods but not one custom. thought about getting him one and started doing some research and really dont know who builds quality stuff. if you dont make that kind of rod could you recommend someone. i dont mind paying for quality also.

I talked with Stix earlier, this guy knows his stuff and I could have stayed on the phone talking rods until my battery died...

Default off shore rods

flounder smacker
yes i do build custom off shore rods , i currently am building 2 8ft tarpon rods for the bocagrand pass tourney that cost the angler $1500 so yes i can use top of the line componments i also just completed a 7 ft grouper and snapper rod for a man in destin now i will be starting a light weight snapper spiral for a man who fishes the jax coast my point being give me a call only build when people call me this is the only way you will ever get a billystix custom rod, is for you to call me.
want a off shore rod with leather fore grips stix is the man. the only thing i dont do is slit grips because it is just not a good rod build, i can do a much better job if you allow me to do the rod building and you do the fishing.

Default talking rods

thanks laangler
the only way to become good at something is to put your heart into what you do, it,s like my job i am a meat cutter have been cutting for 54 years the youg guys cant touch me it's like my knif is part of me when it's in my hand because i have a passion for what i do.
now rod building i cant build rods if i dont know what makes them tick , so i must study my craft and apply my knowledge to every aspect of what i do, i have some new and very smart ideas on roid building especially when it comes to the guides and the placement of said guides i have learned tricks by trial and error's and now i can pass on those things to my customers to build top of the line rods be it inshore or off shore.
and you must remember that if you want answers you must call me this is one of my personal rules """personal comitment""" to my customer and i want build any other way.
thanks guy.
stix
