Chippewa River Custom Rod

When I learned that Musky Fool Fly Fishing Co. would be closing, I was heartbroken. Having been with them from the beginning and attending some of their very first shows is a memory I will always cherish. They have been the exclusive dealer for my built and ready-to-ship predator fly rods.

Following their closure, I will begin keeping these rods stocked on my own site, ready to ship the next business day. Please note that I will not stock any models until Musky Fool is completely sold out of them. Until these rods are listed on my website, please visit www.muskyfool.com to find some great deals and help them liquidate their remaining stock.

Find a wide range of premium-quality fly fishing gear and supplies for sale online or at our brick and mortar fly shop in Madison, WI. We have a huge selection at the most affordable prices and ship anywhere in the world!

A rare change up from musky fly rods. Good luck to everyone who will be participating in the annual Lake Chippewa Flowage Resort Association's Musky Hunt.

Always great to be a part of this great event.

For the 7th year in a row, Chippewa River Custom Rod will be a sponsor of our event. I know there are a lot of "Chippies" floating around the Beast waters! Thanks Chippewa River Custom Rod for being one of our great sponsors!

I have received several requests for purple thread wraps lately, but this color is not currently listed on my website.

Do you think I should add purple?

Just finished with a complete rebuild on this one piece for Custom turned cork composite grips and silk wraps. I hope to see it again after another five or six years of guiding use.

Metallic wraps have really been a hit this year. What do you think?

Custom build alert: utilizing a RX8 6'2" Medium extra fast blank and titanium guides for a super light design. We went with a modern split grip twist to a traditional Tennessee grip for additionalweight savings.
