Location: Planet Meltdown | Yes and they are awesome. Jeremy custom build me a St Croix Legend "The Jerk" I dropped off one of my Green Tree Pythons that had passed away from an RI infection. He skinned it, tanned it, and wrapped the blank with her skin. The skin turned blue after he tanned it which I didn't mind as it matched the blank even better. I was truly amazed at the craftsmanship he put into this rod. Needless to say, it's my favorite rod. We named it "Naree" after the snake. Now I can remember her forever. This rod is good luck as I have landed my two biggest muskies with it.

| Jeremy's has done a couple of rods for me. Couldn't be happier. Spent about an hr. with Jeremy on the phone discussing what I wanted to use the rod for, going through the options of blanks, guides, wraps, cork, etc. Great communication, great service and was so pleased with the first one that I ordered a second custom from him. I would highly recommend him. |

| i've had several built by him, and any rod I have built in the future will be by him too. He does incredible work and can do pretty much anything you want with a blank, real good dude too. |

Location: Land of the Musky | I had Jeremy build me 6 custom rods last year on Tackle Industries XH blanks for the shows. Very very cool. Jeremy had a few pictures and maybe he will post them as they were better than mine. All of the rods were theme rods and I gave him full control and I was very happy with the rods! You name it, he can make it and he has some very unique raw materials I have never seen anyone else use for building rods to make them truly one of a kind, not just different stickers and thread either.

Location: South-Central PA | Thanks to my customers who took the time to say some kind words.
I'd like to share a few brief words about my business and why I do what I do. (I'm a small-time, little known guy in the industry so hopefully this will help people to understand who I am and where I'm coming from.) Rod building is a huge passion of mine, but it's not my life. My life is centered around two things: my faith and my family. My wife and I have three girls that are 2, 4 and 6. I run Tuscarora Tackle more as a hobby than for income- it's an outlet for me. Not being a big business allows me to take my time and focus on the quality of my work. My goal as a custom rod builder is to deliver a custom rod that is built to my customer's exact specifications whether that be a basic build or an off the wall crazy custom rod. My turn-around times aren't fast, you're usually looking at around 6 weeks on average depending on my workload.
Here's a few pictures of build's I've done in the past. The first picture is a custom I did for James at TI. He'll have the rod for sale at the MN show.
