BACKWOODS Premium Rods are Fishing Rods of Distinction!
Recently, I receive my copy of the BPS (Bass Pro Shop) Catalog and reviewed the Prices of several of the Popular Brand Name Fishing Rods.
I was shocked to see that the Top Three Rod Makers quality levels were far below BACKWOODS Rods! When I compared Retail Prices they were “Well Above” ours!
I had to ask myself, “What am I doing?”
This solid information justifies our move to increase Rod Prices for 2012.
By quality of builds comparison, we are selling way under comparable margins!
BACKWOODS Premium Rods Collection are Handcrafted one at a time, by Master Rod Builders. Designs by Daniel Sturges a seasoned Professional Angler/Fishing Guide the only recognized Master Rod Designer in Canada, then these designs are meticulously handcrafted by Master Rod Builder, E.J.Jantzen ESQ.
Jantzen is considered one of the top Master Rod Builders in Canada!
Between these two Professionals they are responsible for over 160 different Species and Technique Specific Performance Fishing Rods that are simply, Beyond Compare!
If you haven’t experienced the feel or performance of a BACKWOODS, you’ll never know how truly amazing they are!
Here are some of our exceptional, unique features in our rods that you won’t find on anywhere else! We are a Dealer Direct company!
First we’ll show you our Top of the Line Musky Rods:
This is our Warlock Musky Signature Series Casting Styx
Available in 6’10″-7’3″-7’6″ & 7’10
Hand Built on a Rainshadow RX8 Titanium Chrome Performance 30-60# rated Rod Blank and an ALPS CNC Marine Grade, Anodized Aluminum Trigger Reel Seat!
This is our Thunder Bolt Musky Trolling Styx Handcrafted on a Rainshadow RX8 Titanium Chrome Extra Heavy Musky Rod with a “Dual Trigger” to give the angler the advantage!
Here is a closer view of the ALPS CNC Precision Marine Grade corrosion resistant Trigger Reel Seats for casting the various large Musky Baits!
We were thrilled with these Marine Grade Aluminum Trigger Reel Seats, so we also designed BACKWOODS BassMaster’s CNC Bull Dawg TCX Tournament Styx.
BACKWOODS BassMaster’s CNC Crankin Styx built on our Rainshadow TCX Hybrid Rod Blanks!
When using the Rainshadow GPX (Matte Grey) Rod Blanks we use the dark coloured Trigger Seats!
Further to this we designed Spinning Rods with CNC Anodized Aluminum Marine Grade Reel Seats!
This rod doesn’t have the CNC Spinnning Reel Seat!
However the Master Rod Builder is working on the Proto Type which will be photographed and added to this blog post very soon! We Are calling them Solar Eclipse in Silver and Lunar Eclipse using the black Reel Seats. Walleye and Bass actions!
This next photo is probably my most impressive design to date!
This design has three Custom Burlwood Accents, the Reel Seat insert as well as the Butt Cap in Burlwood hand built on North America’s Highest Caliber Rainshadow RX8+ Rod Blank!
Made of High Modulus Graphite and Carbon Fiber Scrim Cloth! We used ALPS-VS3 Triple Bridge Ti-Gold single foot Spinning Guides! Nothing was left out of this rod! Simply, Beyond Compare!
We built six of these High Caliber Casting Styx 7’2″-one piece, with Blank Exposed Zebrawood Trigger Real Seats last year and sold them all in one month! $499.95 They are, also built on the Rainshadow RX8+ Super Rod Blanks! They were all sold in a month!

Gerry Pigeon (B.A.S.S. Master Angler) has
endorsed over 36 BACKWOODS Tournament
Performance Bass over the past 18 years!
The BACKWOODS Flippin/Pitchin Styx 7’6″ Extendable is by
far our most popular selling Tournament Bass Fishing Rods!
We build two Extendable models, one with Straight Guides and a straight handle and the other with a Spiral configuration that eliminates Tip Top looping with a Split Cork handle.
We are up scaling both of these models for 2012 and we are enhancing the original design by adding an ALPS Precision Marine Grade CNC Anodized Aluminum “Dual” Trigger Casting Reel Seat! Shown above!
The Black Dual Trigger will be found on the Rod that has the Straight Guides/Handle and Spiral/Split Cork Handle will have the Silver Dual Trigger Reel Seat to be able to tell them apart! We will continue to use the Rainshadow RX7-GPX High Modulus Graphite Premium Rod Blanks!
All other Gerry Pigeon Signature Casting Series Rods will have ALPS Marine Grade Anodized Aluminum “Dual Blank Exposed” Trigger Reel Seats in Pale Gold, Black, Dark Titanium, Cobalt Blue and Silver matched with the Rainshadow RX7-Matte Grey and the Rainshadow RX8 in Titanium Chrome.
This reel seat is available on our Bull Dawg CNC Casting Series. Although it is very similar in design to what we will have. The Trigger Reel Seat will have two Blank Exposed ergonomic finger ports.(Blank Exposed)
We will be offering similar Reel Seat designs for the Gerry Pigeon BassMaster’s Signature CNC Spinning Series in the New Year!
Custom Handcrafted Fishing Rods, Beyond Compare!
