TBS Rods have a simple Idea in mind? Make a high quality, light weight sensitive rod, put it in the hands of an angler, and really have a tool that is a personalized custom work of art, and is what it say's it is! Not some desk jockey who fishes four times a year! TBS RODS are totally functional, to make long pinpoint accurate casts with sensitivity and hooksets that get the job done....Period!!

Designed by Capt. Tony Bozzella, a hard core angler and full time guide with many fishing credits to his name, has put this concept together. This is accomplished by choosing the correct blank, proper number, size, and spacing of the guides on a spined blank and methodically built one at a time. With close attention to detail, Capt. Terry Sturgeon does just that, crafts them one by one. Every rod is spun to find the correct "lay" of the bend then, spined for proper spacing of the guides in relation to the action of that particular blank. This allows the line to contour the bend of the blank, under the fight of a big fish, and never break or stress your line using proper drag. (15-20% of the lines breaking strength. Example: 20lb line should use about 3-4lbs of drag) All TBS RODS come with SS304 guides which eliminates the problems with "standard" guides that feature ceramic inserts set into a metal frame. Problem with aluminum oxide or SiC insert guides is that the rings have to be glued into the frame. Hard-core angling or heavy use can cause the inserts to be knocked out, cracked, or broken. The SS304 guides have hard chrome plated stainless-steel rings in the guide frame. The stainless-steel ring is formed around the guide frame after it is inserted, so it can't be knocked out. Proper gluing over the wraps for each and every eye, ensuring that the glue has been distributed down the shaft of the eye, where it meets the blank, sealing it from salt water. Many times this is not recognized by the consumer, and with in a few months of use the eyes become weak or even come off from saltwater penetration.

Testimonials:
Captain Tony,
The TBS 7' (med / hvy) spinning rod is the perfect rod for Fla. inshore fishing. These rods are definitely capable of handling large game fish. The light weight and short butt section makes it easy to spend hours throwing artificial lures. Terry did a really fine job with the custom wraps and craftsmanship. The personalization with customers name and favorite species is a nice feature! Thanks for a great rod, it will be a part of all my fishing trips!
