What is it?
Cajun Custom Rods fishing rods. They’re 100 percent custom rods made one at a time to your exact specifications by Americans in Omaha, Neb. (Owner Jaesen Yerger is Louisiana born and bred, hence the company’s name).
What does it do?
Of course, they do everything a rod does, but these do it to your exact specifications. You pick the blank, reel set, guides, action, grips, wrap colors — everything. You have complete control over the design of your rod. If you need help or advice, Yerger is a phone call away.
Why do I need it?
Off-the-shelf rods are great, but if you’ve never had the experience of designing your own rod, then seeing it on your doorstep a few weeks later, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. No longer do you have to settle for a rod that has a good action, but is too short, or is the right length but has the wrong action. If you know for certain what makes a good fluke or jig rod, you can now have it!
How do I use it?
Like any fishing rod, but with more confidence since you designed it.
What sets it apart?
Since the design of the rod is 100 percent in your hands, each stick is going to be different. Select from components by REC Recoil, St. Croix, Lamiglas, American Tackle, Fuji, Pacific Bay, MHX and more. As previously mentioned, you select, the blank, handle (split or full-grip), guide layout (even corkscrew), wrap, rod butt cap, decal, guide set, and even custom text if you’d like. Florida Gator fan? Make it orange and blue. Green Bay Packers fan? Green and yellow should do nicely. Check out a sampling of Cajun Custom Rods here.
How much?
This is a variable, so build your rod (this step is totally free), and see how much it’ll run you. Too expensive? Change components for a better deal.
