Cajun Custom Rods builds heirloom quality rods that will perform at least as well as their G.Loomis or St. Croix counterparts. Jaesen has a passion for building YOUR rod like no one I have ever met. We started by discussing where I fish and what I fish for, that was the springboard for everything to come. What came next however, was not what I expected.
I was asked to play on the CCR website. At first I didn’t think much about the idea, four hours later I had designed over a dozen different rods. How did I spend 4 hours designing rods online? The answer is; the CCR website is SWEET! As a visual person, being able to see images of the components you are looking at made all the difference in the world. I got a real idea of what my rod would look like and I couldn’t stop trying to build the “perfect” rod.
The end result proved to be better than I had dreamed. I got a fish slaying stick that looked like it should be in a glass case at the Louvre. The cork handle and ergonomic reel seat made holding the rod incredibly comfortable. The tread work was far beyond function, it added a level of artistry that I have never seen in custom rods. I could cast a country mile and I felt even the slightest bump by the finicky Walleyes. An amazing all around rod, and one that my son will inherit one day, but only after I catch my share of fish on it first.
CCR prides themselves on their customer service and warranty. I got to find out why first hand. When I received my rod, via a popular shipping company with brown trucks, the blank was broken in half about 6 inches from the tip. I called Jaesen and he immediately had me ship the rod back to him. I was a little concerned because we were leaving for our BWCA trip in about a week. 5 days later I had a completely redone rod in my hands, this time delivered by a different company in a shipping tube you can drive a truck over. While on my BWCA trip, the rod took quit a beating, crushing one of the eyelets. Once I was home, I shipped the rod to CCR and again 5 days later I have a pristine rod back in my hands.
