At the heart of our rods is Matt Dodd, an experienced rod builder with a lifelong passion for fishing and a keen eye for detail. Matt takes pride in building every rod with care, precision and purpose — creating gear that’s built to perform and made to last.
For over 40 years, Offshore Custom Rods has been producing quality fishing rods for the New Zealand and international market. We use premium blanks from CTS in Auckland and trusted US manufacturers such as Calstar, paired with high-quality componentry from Fuji, Winthrop, Alps and AFTCO.
Every component is carefully selected for its strength, performance and durability, allowing us to build high-end rods designed to stand up to years of serious fishing. And it doesn’t stop at the build. Matt is here to help you choose the right rod for the way you fish and personalise it to suit you. From the components and finish to the finer details, your rod can be made uniquely yours.
