Now THAT’S a hot bite 🔥

An absolute toad rainbow caught out west on the custom HBR fly rod!

My favorite part of building rods is seeing them leave the shop and actually get put to work. They aren’t meant to sit on a wall. They’re meant to fish!

BUILT FOR THE BITE. 🤘

Labor Day always feels like the unofficial end of summer to me. While I’m going to miss summer fishing, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t already looking forward to what comes next…

ICE SEASON. 🧊

Here’s a look back at some ice builds that came out of the Hot Bite shop over the last year… But this year is going to look a little different. 👀

I’ve been working behind the scenes on some exciting new ideas and changes to Hot Bite Rods that I think you’re going to like!

More details and announcements coming soon…

Until then, enjoy these last few days of summer because ICE SEASON is coming! 🔥

July might be peak summer, but we’re already thinking about ice season.

Just wrapped up this custom ice rod featuring a personalized name and catfish decal. Every custom build is a little different, and that’s what makes them fun to create.

Ice rod… in July? Absolutely 🔥

Fun morning chasing one of my favorite fish on the planet. There’s nothing more fun than feeling a big West Okoboji bluegill load up an ultralight setup.

This fish measured 9.75 inches and was the highlight of the trip. So close to that elusive 10 inch mark, but the hunt continues.

The morning also produced a fun mixed bag with yellow bass, perch, and even a bonus walleye. Not a bad way to spend a few hours on the water. 🔥
