Since 1994 I’ve really enjoyed using the BEAVERBUILT Custom Fly Rods…I own several!! They are of superior craftsmanship and quality and the performance & aesthetic enhancements make them far superior to a mass produced factory fly rod. I can always count on them to perform for me on rivers, streams, and lakes that I fish…and the Pheasant Feather Inlay gives the rod a very unique character. Simply the best!

I’m writing this Testimonial ‘in Memorium’ for my 25 year friend & fly fishing pal Norm Newton who passed away a few years ago. Norm was a great friend and owned 2 BEAVERBUILT Custom Fly Rods. In Alaska fishing together, and after landing a 24″ Rainbow, he commented that he needed me to build him another rod big enough for those ‘slabs’ in Alaska…..I guess that statement speaks for itself. Ole’ Norm went to be with the Lord before I built that 3rd BEAVERBUILT Custom Fly Rod. I know he’s still on the river.

I have been a customer of “The Beav” since 1993 and have purchased several rods over the years. My favorite is a Sage ten foot, two piece, #5 nymphing rod which I use many times each year. I depend upon the quality and accuracy which Beaverbuilt rods display. Only the best blanks and hardware are employed and the beauty of the personalized final product is unsurpassed. Many of my fly-fishing buddies have also become customers and are extremely satisfied with the choice of Beaverbuilt.

I have really enjoyed fishing with my beaverbuilt rod this summer. Gary was able to customize the rod to my specifications and the feel is unlike any rod I have ever owned. The modifications Gary makes really add to the performance of the rod. I feel like I can cast to specific spots better than ever before.

Gary at Beaverbuilt Custom Rods is a rock star. He was able to perform magic on a Winston rod that was in need of major repair. Not only was he able to fix the mistakes made by another custom rod builder but also improve on the functionality and design. Gary’s quality and integrity are unmatched and his basis of rod building knowledge is greater than most manufacturers. Gary really delivered, restoring and improving the rod in a timeframe shorter than anticipated. I look forward to my next BeaverBuilt Custom Rod.
