ODM Evolution 1 Piece Rods built by Billy D

from $549.00

The ODM Evolution line started as a one piece blank lineup available from ODM to shops or custom rod builders who could build a custom on the ODM platform. The Surfcaster has been selling the blanks for several years, and we’re excited to now have a custom built rod available from Billy D. Billy is well known in the CT fishing community for his rod building, repairs, and custom wood lures. He painstakingly designs and builds custom rods for his customers, using his decades of surfcasting experience to advise and build truly custom builds.
The Surfcaster is pleased to partner with Billy on a “shop build” of the Evolution lineup.

About the Evolution:

The gradual development of something special, especially from a simple to a more complex form. Elements are born of fire, fusion, earth, air, and water.
