At Broken Fly Rod, we believe a your rod should feel like an extension of your hand. Whether you’re casting in a quiet mountain stream, drifting through cool tailwaters, or chasing fish on open water, a rod made just for you can transform the experience. That’s why we offer custom-built fly rods tailored to your style, favorite waters, and personal goals.
Each rod we build combines craftsmanship with performance—designed with precision and shaped by a true love of fly fishing. We don’t just build gear; we help create the fly rod you’ll reach for every time.
Unlike mass-produced options, a custom fly rod is built for your needs and preferences. Every detail—from the feel in your hand to the style of wrap—is chosen intentionally. Whether you’re after the soft flex of slow-action fiberglass or a fast-action build for power and distance, we’ll guide you toward the right setup.
All of our fly rods are handcrafted in the Pisgah National Forest District, an area rich in trout streams and fly fishing heritage. We draw inspiration from the rivers and ridgelines that surround us and build rods that reflect that environment.
We work with all types of fly anglers. Some are new to the sport and want a rod they can grow with. Others have a clear vision and know exactly how their next fly rod should perform. Many come to us with a personal reason—a rod that was lost or damaged, or a gift to commemorate a milestone.
To us, these aren’t just tools. A custom fly rod carries stories. It’s made to perform on the water and hold meaning off it. When you commission a rod from us, you’re not just getting a build—you’re getting something crafted to last and built to matter.
Based in western North Carolina’s Pisgah National Forest, we’re surrounded by some of the finest waters in the Southeast. But our service doesn’t stop at the state line. We build and ship custom fly rods across the U.S., and we make the process smooth and collaborative wherever you’re located.
