ABOUT RECON RODS

BUILT IN MICHIGAN.

Recon Rods is a one-person rod shop for steelhead and salmon anglers. Every rod is designed with its angler, built by hand, and made as a one-of-one piece that belongs on the river.

VETERAN OWNED & OPERATED

One person.
Every detail.

The conversation is part of the craft. We start with the way you fish, then choose the blank, handle, guides, wraps, and finish together. Form and function belong in the same rod.

Recon Rods builds in Michigan with premium components from trusted suppliers. We prioritize American-made and American-sourced components whenever practical, and explain what goes into your specific rod.
