Cajun Custom Rods® Bass Tournament Update – Bill Bostic

by

Last weekend (28 April 2012) Cajun Custom Rods® Pro Staff Angler, Mr. Bill Bostic, fished to a 3rd-place finish in a Lake Of The Ozarks (LOZ) bass fishing tournament … swinging “Big Bass” for the tourney. “nice work Bill and congrats on not only fishing well, but landing the big bass!” The picture below shows the big bass and another 5 pound plus largemouth bass, anchoring Bill’s 19.86 pound tournament weight. Most of the fish, including the big girl (5.78lbs) were taken on a 1/2 ounce jig, PB&J, with a watermelon trailer in 10′ – 20′ of water. From Bill, “The latest CCR® flipping stick in my arsenal made feeling the bite, hook-setting and playing of the fish a breeze! The following day (29 April 2012), I fished another tourney at Mark Twain lake in N.E Missouri and the CCR® flippin stick did the trick again!” “A lot of the bass population are spawning, or attempting to do so right now all across Missouri. This makes for great flipping action with one of my favorite lures of choice, the magnum lizard. Colors are of course dictated by water clarity, however, it is hard to go wrong being armed with junebug ...

Pro Staff Fishing Report: Mark Twain Lake, MO

by

This report just received from Mr. Bill Bostic, one of Cajun Custom Rod®’s Pro Staff Team members – “Thanks for the update Bill – awesome catch and those bass look healthy!”: Saturday, 4/7/12, fishing on Mark Twain Lake in NE Missouri. Lake conditions – advanced for early April, 58 – 60 degrees surface temps, water clear to slightly stained, bass in pre-spawn mode with early signs of spawning activity. Lure of choice, spinner baits and soft plastic drop baits, Texas rigged. Crankbaits would have been on the lure list, however with the lake recently rising, the flooded grass (mostly the dead variety) crankbaits were too cumbersome to fish effectively. Side note – with the enormous amount of spinnerbait fishing, it had me designing my next rod in my mind! 🙂 Bill

What is the Alabama Rig? How is It Used? What Fishing Rod Should I Choose?

by

Alabama Rig

When times are tough, folks in the United States don’t just sit back and rest on their laurels … they go fishing.  When fishing is slow, those same Americans allow natural innovation and ingenuity to take hold of their thoughts and that’s when those world-class ideas hit you “like a ton of bricks.”  Whether that angler’s thoughts have wandered to “the next best boat cup holder,” “a lure adjustment to get to the right depth or have the right wiggle, bobble, splash or other subdued action,” or “just another technical approach on how that angler is going to fill the live well with their targeted game-fish” … it just happens.  That same angler comes up with a new idea, approach, or technique that not only makes common sense … but fantastic fishing-sense!  The newest fishing lure to hit the water, the Alabama Rig, is no different because to fish one just makes sense. Recently, this new fishing lure has stormed not only the fishing scene, ranging from the avid recreational angler to bass fishing tournament pro circuits, but the fishing industry as well. So what is this “magic” fishing lure and how has it changed the way we think about ...

CCR® Goes “Through the Ice!”

by

Rainbow-Trout

New Mexico fishing has proved to be very different than the bass fishing of the midwest and the north woods fishing of Canada. Upon arrival to Raton, New Mexico I was eager to get my rods out and sample the trout fishing that I had read so much about. Within days of arrival I had gathered enough local intelligence that I felt I was prepared enough to try my hand at the local fisheries. The nearest body of water was Lake Maloya, about fifteen minutes north of the town and about a thousand feet higher in elevation putting it at around 7,000 feet above sea level. As I neared the lake my anticipation turned into grief. I rounded the final bend and crested the road along the top of the dam … ice … solid across the lake. How could there be ice covering a lake when the average winter temperature barely dips below forty? I drove back disgusted that I would have to wait until ice out to fish the lake. Over the next two days the fishing bug got the better of me. I decided to make the best of the situation and see if I could drag ...

American Tackle’s Bushido Blanks – CCR®’s Ready !!!

by

ATC Bushido Logo

At Cajun Custom Rods®, we’re always on the lookout for “cutting edge” and “performance-enhancing” rod components.  So, when we learned of a new line of “super secret rod blanks” that American Tackle has been developing … well, needless to say, we’ve been watching closely and have been trying to get additional information.  Today, American Tackle has released some fantastic updates via their newsletter that we’d like to share: The process of developing Bushido blanks continues. It was a collaboration of fishermen, rod builders and blank engineers beginning the quest for the Bushido freshwater and inshore blanks. Combining the desired specifications to new materials and practical manufacturing takes time to perfect. Each round of samples produced must graduate an exacting series of evaluations. Their weights, tip/butt target sizes, as well as applicable action deflections are critiqued and refined every step of the way. Most of the process is done in-house however, once prototyped, many models are built and fished for final approval and we seem to have a lot of volunteers for that part of the process! Look for the Freshwater & Inshore Bushido’s to arrive in Mid-2012. Here’s a close-up of one of the Bushido Nano Super Composite Offshore Jigging & ...

CCR® Shipping Rules Again!

by

  At Cajun Custom Rods®, not only do we build the best performance and custom fishing rods in the world, but we always go the extra mile when it comes to our customers and their satisfaction.  This time, we’d like to show you a few reasons of just how we do this … from every meticulous step we take in building your custom fishing rod design to how we ship your rod.  Recently, we coordinated with one of our Pro Staff Team to get a rod in that needed some TLC before the “heat” of the spring thaw, spawn, and tournament season kicks off.  We had our Pro Staffer ship the rod back to us and here’s what arrived (see for yourself the damage):   As you can see from the images above, the tube that the rod was shipped in withstood the poor handling of an “UNNAMED” shipping system.  Aside from the fact that we ship with FEDEX (who does a fantastic job), we ship our rods in specially fabricated tubes that are designed for our custom fishing rods and that can withstand even the harshest of shipping (in this case … Holiday shipping) conditions to include, bending, warping, crunching, ...

Late Summer Fishing Report – 2011

by

Jon's Monster Pike

There’s nothing like the late summer/early fall bite, especially when your out on the water with family or friends. This quick Cajun Custom Rods® fishing report is no exception with catches from as far north as Lake Of The Woods, Canada and just a bit south to lake Okoboji, Iowa. We’ll start off with a “monster” of an update from Jon Vroom and his family for their summer outing at lake Of The Woods, Canada. Jon worked on several custom fishing rods for his brothers and his dad for the trip and from the pics below, you’ll soon agree that the Vroom family certainly put those rods through their paces. Wow! Check out the size of those Northern Pickerel (aka Pike)! Jon’s two biggest each measured at 37 inches and Heather’s came in just under at 33 inches … not too shabby for a few custom spinning rod designs from Cajun Custom Rods®. Below are a few pictures taken while my oldest (Tristan) and I spent a few days over the Labor Day weekend at Lake Okoboji, Iowa.  We were targeting bass (both largemouth and smallmouth) but managed a few decent Northern Pike of our own;  while fishing a handful ...

A Few Thoughts On “New Technology”

by

I am familiar with many manufacturer’s fishing rods and do not necessarily agree with their philosophy regarding “new technology” … that’s why we test new products (rod components) that manufacturers claim as “new technology” extensively here at Cajun Custom Rods®. For instance, their are multiple manufacturers that claimed the micro guide was the “next best thing” when it came to enhancing performance rods … but I had no knowledge or experience with such guides (save single foot fly guides). So, in good Cajun Custom Rods® fashion, we purchased several varieties of micro guides from different manufacturers to see for ourselves. Initially we duplicated a few rods to meet current manufacturer/industry specifications of micro guide rods (i.e., the rods they were mass producing for retail sales) and soon discovered that they had incorporated several fundamental flaws in their designs, not to mention manufacture irregularities or shortfalls in the actual micro guide design themselves. For instance, one company had too few micro guides on their rod whereas another had an excess of micro guides (yep, we learned that too many guides actually detract from rod performance) … both demonstrating their complete lack of “rod-guide tuning” for optimum casting and fish landing performance. ...

Three Mile Lake, Iowa (July 3, 2011)

by

Cajun Custom Rods Bass

A few of us from Cajun Custom Rods® headed down the road, east this time to Three Mile Lake in Iowa … just east of the city of Creston.  We’ve not fished too many of the reservoirs or lakes in Iowa, so with the day off and decent weather predicted, decided to load the boat and give it a try.  It takes about 2.5 hours to drive with the boat from Omaha to Three Mile Lake and we arrived about noon at the ramp.  After rigging out our custom fishing rods, we dropped in and headed toward the dam – expecting the water to be a little cooler and deeper … draw the fish up with some crankbait action.  When we got to the dam, the average depth 20-25 yards from the rocks was only 7-10 feet, but we decided to give it a shot anyway.  Tristan threw an alewife color KVD squarebill crankbait (1-3 feet) and I threw a sexy sunfish colored KVD squarebill (1-3 feet).  We picked up a few smaller bass in the 11-14 inch size, but nothing to brag about to mom.  So we picked up and headed back into the timber to try our luck ...

Elwood Reservoir Fishing Report #2, Nebraska (July 2, 2011)

by

Elwood Reservoir Crappie

On our second day of the Cajun Custom Rods® fishing road trip in Western Nebraska, we had planned to begin heading back towards Omaha, Nebraska.  We slept in (because we had fished until late the previous night) and over breakfast, discussed what where we’d like to fish for the day.  Conditions were vastly different as compared to the previous day on Elwood Reservoir with winds 5-20 knots (varied for certain), overcast and cooler with air temps around 65 degrees.  We decided to head back to Elwood and see how the bite was for the lake … and if not as good, head on east down I-80 and try a few of the lakes we investigated the day prior (War Axe, Union Pacific, Blue Hole, Sandy Channel, Windmill, Bassway Strip, Cheyenne, and Mormon Island). As soon as we arrived at the boat ramp, the skies opened up.  We stayed in the truck for about an hour until the heavy rain had passed and then began rigging out … readying for the day of fishing.  Since we were successful on crankbaits the previous day, we opted to start out with the same set up for our custom fishing rods on this day: ...

Elwood Reservoir Fishing Report, Nebraska (July 1, 2011)

by

Jack bass Elwood

We headed out for a few days out in West Nebraska to do some fishing and spend some time together (and to try out a few new Cajun Custom Rod® prototypes we’ve been working) … nothing like a good road trip coupled with the adventures of fishing new lakes and the excitement that goes with the two!  We headed down I-80 West on the morning of 2 July and didn’t stop until Lexington, Nebraska.  Along the way we checked out a few of the Nebraska I-80 Lakes for reference .  We wanted to fish them as we worked our way back east on I-80 on the 3rd and were in no hurry, so we drove in and checked out the following lakes along the I-80 corridor of lakes: War Axe, Union Pacific, Blue Hole, Sandy Channel, Windmill, Bassway Strip, Cheyenne, and Mormon Island.  Honestly, all looked fantastic and several had either improved ramps or concrete ramps to drop a boat in … but we ultimately decided to keep pushing west and then fish a few of the lakes on our way home.  From Omaha to Lexington takes about 3 hrs, but after all the stops it took us closer to ...
