True West Custom Fly Rods took the time to find out what I was looking for and built me a rod that has exceeded my expectations in every way. I have been fishing for trout for 10 years and was ready to get into spey casting for Deschutes River steelhead. After casting a single handed rod and experiencing a very sore shoulder after a day of fishing, I decided I needed something that could handle a bit more line. The Sage VT2 8 weight spey rod True West built for me was an instant success. I let them choose the reel seat and other components and was very pleased with the blue reel seat used that matches the blue color of the rod blanks. They took the time to explain the whole process to me. I love telling people on the river about my spey rod when they notice this is no ordinary Sage.

My True West rod is the best fly rod I have ever owned. The details and performance are as good as I could have imagined. Having a rod custom made to my personal tastes and with the finest components available has made my fishing experiences extremely productive and enjoyable.

I've had my 5wt Loomis rod made by True West for over a year now, and I absolutely love it. The materials and craftsmanship are top notch, and I still get excited every time I pull it out of the case. All around, great stuff. My next rod will most definitely be from True West.

The rod I had made by True West has been by far the best rod I have ever fished with! It's been fun getting back into the sport of fly fishing, and I know this rod has had a ton to do with it. I had the rod built with a custom grip, and the whole thing is just an absolute work of art. I can't wait for my next one!
