Zacks Custom Rods

Not every trolling setup needs to be oversized, heavy, and cumbersome.

Our 20/30 Carbon Series is designed to be the Swiss Army knife of trolling rods: refined, versatile, and engineered to do just about everything under the sun.

Exceptionally lightweight, incredibly compact, and unbelievably capable, this is the definition of a true all-purpose offshore trolling rod. Pull spreader bars, deep-diving plugs, or smaller trolling presentations with confidence—whether you’re inshore, offshore, or fishing the canyons.

From yellowfin and bluefin to large bigeye, this series has the backbone to stay in control while remaining effortless to fish all day long. A truly fun rod to fish that feels balanced and right in the hand.

The biggest advantage? You’re fighting the fish—not your gear.

Our Medium series Yellowfin/Bluefin tuna jig rods!

Our Yellowfin & Bluefin Jigging Rod was engineered to make working 100–300 gram jigs effortless, featuring a responsive, lightweight tip that keeps every lift, flutter, and bite feeling connected. Pair it with a 10,000 or 14,000 size reel, and you’ve got an incredibly balanced setup that’s comfortable to fish all day long.

Built for yellowfin and school-size bluefin, this rod delivers an unbelievably fun fight while remaining exceptionally light in the hand. But when the unexpected happens and a larger pelagic decides to eat your jig, you’ll quickly realize this rod has far more to offer than its weight suggests!

Are proprietary line of jigging rods are handcrafted here in the USA! Top-tier quality paired with top-tier blanks and components!

We spent the day putting our USA made, exclusive Carbon Series through its paces, and this 19-minute film captures it exactly as it happened. Every tap, every subtle pickup, every change in the bottom, and every surge from a fish is transmitted through the blank, keeping you completely connected from start to finish.

Designed to deliver exceptional sensitivity without sacrificing lifting power, our Carbon Series allows you to detect the smallest changes while maintaining complete control over powerful fish. Whether you’re drifting live bait, working jigs, or targeting trophy stripers, these rods were engineered to maximize feel, performance, and fish-fighting authority.

Handcrafted in-house using premium, American-made carbon blanks manufactured one at a time, every rod reflects the precision, durability, and attention to detail that define everything we build.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates a truly premium rod from the rest, this video is worth the watch.

Another sick set heading out for the season!

Every blank was individually hand-manufactured in the USA, then custom painted, finished, and transformed in-house. Every decorative wrap was hand-tied, every component selected without compromise, and hidden throughout the collection are subtle whale inlays—personal details placed in different locations on each rod, waiting to be discovered.

Designed to fish everything from South of the Vineyard to the offshore canyons, this handcrafted arsenal is equally at home trolling for marlin, standing up to giant tuna, casting topwater, or deep dropping the edge.

Built entirely in-house. American-made at its foundation. Crafted with intention. Finished one detail at a time.

A beautiful set headed to New York!

Each rod features hand-laid Japanese abalone complimenting custom painted grey wood grain blanks, grey grip packages, silver hardware, and refined detailing throughout. The result is a clean, timeless aesthetic with the performance to match.

We use only premium-grade abalone designed to maintain its beauty for years to come without the cracking and deterioration commonly seen in lower-quality materials.

This spread includes 50/80 class trolling rods, 80 class hybrid rods, our exclusive 80/130 XL Giant rods, and a matching set of chunking sticks.
