About Us

Dennis Papike has long been known as "Pappy" among the fishing community.

He is a master rod builder and thread artist having built his first rod in 1965.

 His main focus of his builds is not only  a rod that is aesthetically pleasing but one that is designed to get the most performance out of  that particular rod blank for the use intended.

Dennis takes custom rod orders by phone or e-mail. He will discuss the type of characteristcs you require for your fishing preferences.

Dennis's preference is to use blanks and components by Rainshadow, ALPS and Forecast.  Please see the catalog for details.
