I am a custom rod builder that also makes lures, plugs, jigs and nautical jewelry. 

My light tackle rods are MHX blanks with split butt handles, Fuji reel seats & guides.  I prefer to build with Fuji stainless steel / titanium coated ceramic guides but allow the customer to make their decisions on handles & guides.

I have be paddling for over 14 years.  My Eddieline 17' sit in is great for long paddling trips.  The Current Design Kestrel SOT for most coastal area trips & fishing.

Being close to retirement I am excited to be near water and live in a beautiful part of Florida's west coast where year around boating is plesant.

I greatly enjoy the outdoors and like to kayak fish on occasions.
