Steelhead Rods

This selection of steelhead rods is representative of those I find the most useful for steelhead fishing in the Great Lakes region and beyond. These rods cover most single hand and switch/light spey fishing needs. The switch rods listed are very useful for both overhead and anchor point (spey) casts. Please discuss customization with me which includes choosing from our large selection of woods. The price is for the options listed below (not including shipping) and can include an optional feather inlay for an additional $100. Click on the handle type for each model to see a picture of the standard approach to handles for that type of rod.
