I have been in the building game for over eight years. I started my business as Pautuxent Rods and evolved it to Cotter Rod Works.
CRW steps forward from other builders with an aggressive style that uses high-performing Northfork Composite blanks, specialized grips, and next-level paint and wrapping.
I focus my work on stretching what is possible in design, using the very best materials available to build you a truly unique rod.
When you see my custom carbon fiber fishing rods, you know you are dealing with a builder with strong design capabilities.
Purpose Built
I can build on any rod blank platform and do most of my work on casting and spinning blanks. I learn how my customers fish, the types of tackle they use, and the locations most familiar to them. From my interview process, I learn about the fishing goals my customers have. They can range from time in the boat with friends or standing solo on the front deck, pounding the water with heavy swimbaits.
The Materials
Cotter Rod Works with Level 1 or Level 3 customization capabilities. Using my creative knack, I build rods I know will be unique and provide rewarding performance all day long.
My build focus can be seen in my one-of-a-kind Level 1 inventory using the most advanced carbon fiber rod material.
If you are looking to design your own, I will use your input, to help you have the best-designed rod that will perform for you, in your waters. Cotter Rod Works stays with North Fork Composites for a majority of my build builds.
I build casting, spinning, and trolling rods. You'll see most of my productions are in-your-face works of art that can leverage carbon fiber on an ultra-light spinning rod, or eight-foot swimbait rod.
