Welcome to Laurel Ridge Rods, Your online resource for custom rod building supplies and complete fly, spin, centerpin casting and saltwater rods right here in Western PA.

Here at Laurel Ridge Rods my goal is to provide customers with rods based on their specifications and fishing style, and provide a ready-to-ship stock of blanks and materials for the serious rod builder and innovative fly maker.

I didn't begin building rods for bragging rights, but more for the result of a satisfied customer that is happy with their investment into a custom rod tailored to specific needs. It's important to understand the customers needs when building a custom rod. To me building rods is an art form, and I like my work to reflect on the customers traits.

It is my practice to consult with you about what you will be using the rod for, species targeted, casting style and flies/lures expected to be fished on it before I start building. This ensures a quality result in both craftsmanship and owner satisfaction.
