All Santiam Fishing Rods are designed, extensively fished, and put to the test before production. Many years of our fishing experience goes into each model we design. Built is what we consider to be the most flexible rods that perform well under most fishing preferences and conditions. Many different models are available for casting, trolling, jigging, backbouncing, float fishing, the list goes on...  Our rods are built with quality blanks, blank through reel seats for strength, several different grip options, and aluminum oxide guides with ceramic inserts for a smooth line transfer. Our rods will exceed your expectations!
