Custom/ˈkəs,təm/ a. : Made to fit the needs or requirements of a particular person.
Rods that are made exactly the way you design them from top to
bottom. Carlin Bamboo rods are built for a lifetime of use, so you may as
well get something that is exactly what you like. As many
or as few of the rod's details and appointments can be customized,
from the tip top to the butt cap and everything in between.
