About us and our products

Just two people from Minnesota who like to fish! John is incredibly crafty, capable, and loves to add more projects to his plate. He can look at an item and find ways to try to improve them, more often then not he can!

Kelsey is the better fisherwoman, but she won’t bait her hook or touch fish. She also is the shipping department and works on the website. 

Our handles are 3D printed with engineering grade materials such as ASA, ABS, carbon fiber materials, and TPU. All the designs were made and tested in (ice) house.

ASA is our standard material which has higher UV resistance than ABS. We have a lot of handle color options, thread, guides, you name it we got it.

Here is John’s sidekick Olive, she follows him everywhere.

 

FAQ's

What is your turn around time?

Pre-made options are usually mailed within a day or two.

Most of our rods are made to order and can be sent out within a week depending on what season it is.

During the height of ice fishing season, it can up to four weeks to get to your custom build.

We strive to get to your order as quick as possible and appreciate your patience.

What are your handles made of?

Our handles are 3D printed with engineering grade materials such as ASA, ABS, carbon fiber materials, and TPU. All the designs were made and tested in (ice) house.

ASA is our standard material which is UV stable as compared to ABS which is not. Minnesota winters anyone?

What is TPU?

TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane) is a flexible and squishy 3D printing filament, kind of like rubber. Despite the flexible properties, it transfers energy unbelievably well. Did I mention is SQUISHY?

This material is best suited for warmer environments such as ice castles or heated shacks.
