"I had Tiffany at Vague Rods from Santa Barbara Ca make these rods for me to fly-line fish. They functioned flawlessly and look awesome. I was able to cast a sardine with ease.I gave her a good challenge with these rods being that I wanted the blanks and components to be USA made.She was able to source out everything and had them done when she said they were going to be done.I picked the rods up on my way to San Diego for a 4 day trip. Everyone I had look them over complimented me on the craftsmanship one of those people being the sponsor of the trip who owns a tackle shop.I will definitely have her make my next custom rod and highly recommend her.

I have been having Capt. Tiffany creating her works of art for years and have never been disappointed in any part of the process. While the rods truly are a work of art! Almost too nice to fish with! Almost, they are top of the line quality blanks to start and then whatever you decide on for grips, eyes, style or targeted fish. I have ordered a reggae styled rod for my son for Christmas and several Halibut designed rods for local Halibut and lingcod while also having rods designed for warm water game fish like Tuna, wahoo, marlin and flats fish like Tarpon, Permit and bonefish. On my most recent trip we landed a 100lb. Plus Tarpon with a fight that lasted over 2 hours with the Tarpon actually jumping up and over our flats boat! If you are looking for a quality rod that can be designed and built to your exact specifications then Tiffany is the only one I’d entrust that with. -David White
