Welcome to Real Rods!

We love fishing and the outdoors. Our custom, hand crafted fishing poles are made in the USA from Golden bamboo. 

Real Rods are strong, sensitive and beautiful.  More importantly, they are natural and pure.

Man first used plants such as bamboo and Calcutta reeds as fishing poles. We carry on that tradition everyday and nvite you to fish with a Real Rod. 

Real Rods are continuous, tapered sticks of bamboo with wrapped guides and grips.  They are hand picked, put through a special process to ensure strength and beauty, and made into a fishing pole by one of our trained rod builders. Fisherman have commented that they are extremely sensitive and have superior tip speed when casting. Some fisherman swear they can cast further with a Real Rod. You will be  hooked on Real Rods once you catch a fish. Fishing with a Real Rod adds a level of excitement and enjoyment to your outdoor experience. Try it out and let us know what you think.      

We make fishing poles for catching all species of fish. Our most popular poles are the Real Rod Ultimate Lights. They are extremely sensitive and like no other poles in the world. If you enjoy light tackle fishing, then this pole will take it to the next level.  Our poles are adored by freshwater and saltwater fisherman alike.

Our poles capture the simplicity and beauty of nature while utilizing todays technology. The pole is beautiful and intriguing, but would not go far if it couldn't fish. We are impressed with the strength and flexibility of bamboo. It's not much different from fishing with a traditional graphite fishing pole as far as performance.... but there is a great difference in how you will feel when you fish with one. You loose nothing on performance, but gain miles in experience and that is what fishing is all about.
