Life has been busy lately with work, tournaments, and taking care of things at home but I finally had some time to finish up a rod. Simple but elegant! Once again, another 6ft 8in M XF blank out the door!

It might have been walleye weekend up at the Iowa Great Lakes but Prairie Lakes Guide Service was putting the smackdown on some prespawn bass with his ClarKustomz jig and frog rod!

Broke in a few new builds today! 23lb sack with a 6.17lbr as the biggest of the bunch. Stryker Rods & Blanks MB764 (7ft 6in Medium Heavy Moderate Fast) and Fish MHX Bushido MB73 10-20 (7ft 3in Medium Heavy Fast). The Stryker MB764 is an awesome crankbait rod for your cranks in that 10-16ft range with the sweet spot being that 12ft 1/2-5/8oz diving crankbait. The Bushido MB73 10-20 is an absolute MEAT STICK! Offshore jigs 1/2oz and bigger are where this blank shines! Super sensitive and handles big fish with ease as you can see in the video.

This blank is something special! Build it as a spinning or casting rod... It slaps đ! I kept my casting version of this rod in my hands all day and put almost 50 fish in the boat!
Now that the Mid Iowa Bassmasters Swap Meet is in the past. I wanted to give a huge shout out to everyone who stopped by the table to check out some KUSTOM rodz, place a KUSTOM order, or buy a KUSTOM rod! I had so much fun talking about my passion, the hard work, and the science that goes into building a KUSTOM rod! Time to get back to work building a few more KO Finesse and KUSTOM Quivers for the Small Boat Bass Club Outdoorsman's Flea Market on 3/21 in Omaha.

âźď¸NEW ROD RELEASEâźď¸
After months of testing and receiving feedback from multiple anglers, I am happy to announce my newest rod to the ClarKustomz lineup!
Introducing the "KO Finesse"
Donât let the name fool youâthe KO Finesse spinning rod is built to deliver a knockout punch for heavier finesse techniques. Whether youâre fishing shakey heads, wacky rigged senkos, or robust dropshots, this rodâs strong medium backbone, parabolic mid-section, and ultra-fast tip provide the muscle and responsiveness needed to handle finicky fish. From the Fuji grips, GAHO carbon fiber reel seat, and ADAMAN-coated stainless steel guides, every component is hand-selected for the ideal blend of weight, durability, comfort, and performance.
This rod will come with a $325 price tag. Feel it in person at the Mid Iowa Bassmasters Swap meet February 28th-March 1st in Des Moines or at the Small Boat Bass Club swap meet in Omaha on 3/21.

I've got a feeling that my Kustomer (see what I did there đ) is going to love this build! He stated that he wanted a rod that will allow him to aggressively rip jerkbaits and I immediately knew which blank was for him!
After doing some testing with this blank back in the fall, I quickly realized that this blank was going to be a hot seller with anyone who loves to throw a jerkbait or finesse topwaters.
Order yours today! It won't be long with these 50-70 degree days for the ice to be off our lakes and those big bass munching on a jerkbait!
Get those orders in before the ice melts off our lakes!
