M.A.R Custom Rods
At M.A.R Custom Rods, we take the time to get to know our customers, discussing projects with you before bringing them to life. Whether it's a tired old rod that needs a revamp or a new build that you want your personal touch added, no problem—we can make your dream a reality
A bit about myself
Michael Reed
Fishing has been my passion and my salvation my entire life. My father bought me my first rod when I was around the age of six, and I still remember catching my first fish, which hooked me for life. My passion has been fly fishing, but I consider an all-rounder. I still love getting out and fishing as often as I possibly can. My actual full-time job is working for ABB in Finland as a Global Supplier Quality and Reliability Manager, a role that takes me all over the world. However, when I'm not away working, I'm in my happy place doing what I love: building rods.
In late 2022, we purchased a new build in the beautiful Caldicot. Located very close the the grounds of Caldicot Castle Country Park. The 25 x 10 workshop was designed and built specifically for rod building, and is now the new home of M.A.R Custom Rods.
