About Us

At Offshore Custom Rods, our mission is to craft high-quality, handcrafted fishing rods right here in New Zealand — rods that are not only built to perform but are a pleasure to fish with.

The company has been successfully producing quality rods for the NZ market for over 41 years. We work with premium NZ-made blanks from CTS (Auckland) and import trusted blanks from leading U.S. brands like Calstar and Rainshadow. Our rods are built using top-tier components from Fuji, Alps, and AFTCO to ensure strength, durability, and precision.

We’re a small, dedicated team — just the two of us — which means every rod receives our full attention. This also means there may be a short wait time, but as the saying goes: good things take time.

We’d love to be part of your next fishing adventure.

Cheers, Matt & Angie Dodd
