Welcome to the family Kris, some beautiful looking rods!!!!

I have not heard of this line of rods until now. Just one of the many things that makes FM/HSO such a valuable tool.

Thank you LakeLady for your sponsorship. It's nice to have you aboard.

These are beautiful rods. I first saw them doing a search on custom rods in MN. Not too much later Ron Schara had a great piece on them during an episode of MN Bound. Someday...

They are truly fantastic works of art.

Welcome to the sponsors on this site Kris! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you sell more rods through my HSOforum.

I've got a custom muskie rod from Kris. It is amazing. I love everything about it and I gaurentee nobody has a rod that looks like mine out there. Perhaps if I get ambitious enough I will have to snap a pic sometime.

Yeah...checked out his site and definitely some some nicely crafted rods. And there is nothing like having the exact rod you want built to fit you and what you want to do with it.
