About Southwest Custom Rods

Ron's Custom Tackle has been in the business of creating custom rods for individuals since 1975. The initial startup of this craft evolved from his own needs for that something different or specialized for his own fishing needs. Over time, the demand from other individuals led to the formation of Southwest Custom Rods, to provide people with this service. We are now prepared to go public with our offerings, from fly rods to heavy offshore salt water rigs and everything else in between.

In our search to build & use some of the finest components available, we found ourselves becoming a dealer for the Lemke line of reel seats. This quest has made it possible to offer these seats, and if needed some very fine inserts to rod builders throughout the world.

As we continue to grow we also plan to offer many other fine building components to builders.

Our Mission

Our goal is to build some of the finest quality & performing rods out there. Not only are we interested in just sales but also assisting others who have undertaken this excellent & rewarding craft
