As the winter season begins to fade and we all start watching the weather in preparation the spring fishing season, we’ve also been busy adding to our line of custom rod components at CCR. That said, we now have “College Rod Decals” as a selectable rod component for your next Cajun Custom Rod. Yep – that’s right! At Cajun Custom Rods, we have provided you with the opportunity to add your favorite college team on your next custom rod. 57 of the most popular college teams from the ACC, BIG 12, BIG EAST, BIG 10, CUSA, MAC, MWC, PAC 10, SEC, WAC and independent schools. These officially licensed full color college decals are printed with UV resistant inks and feature “laser cut” edges with a thin white margin around the contour to provide contrast against your rod blank.

We’ll be adding military rod decals in the next few days so you can show your true colors and support our service members with pride. Be sure to stop back in and check ‘em out! Go Navy!
I went fishing on the St. John’s River this past weekend … just absolutely amazing to be on the water again … especially with a CCR custom fishing rod in hand. I worked a 4-inch Berkely Gulp root-beer colored shrimp on a 3/8 ounce jig for about 4 hours. The water was a chilly 55 degrees, but the sun was out with air temps hitting 65 degrees. Landed six Speckled Trout (all caught and released as February is a closed trout season in the Northeast Florida region) and three Redfish (all released to be caught another day). Wow! Talk about fun in the sun … especially with the frigid weather and howling north winds! Be sure to check out the CCR gallery for a few updated photos of a nice Speckled Trout and Redfish. Oh, the rod that I used for both the trout and redfish was a Cajun Custom Rod: 7 ft G. Loomis (P8400) rod blank, American Tackle solid titanium “Ring Lock” guides, Fuji casting reel seat, and a full handle of the finest quality 3A Portuguese cork.
BTW: Micro guide rod is laid up and turning … can’t wait for the “spin and dry cycle” to complete … stay posted because we’ll have a few pics to show ya’ once its done … and a field test comparison to follow.
