Captain Derwood Roberts has always had a passion for fishing and a desire to fish with the best tackle available. Throughout the years he has fished with just about every model of fishing rod that every manufacturer had made and nothing quite suited every unique situation perfectly. His solution was to build his own custom rods that would be able to match every type of fishing situation perfectly. It didn’t take long before he was taking requests to build custom fishing rods for other people and from there his rod building career took off.
