USA. It’s in our fiber.

Forging a New Path

Rod Forge is setting a new standard. Our blanks are: obsessively engineered, manufactured with the best materials on new, state -of-the-art equipment, and operated by highly skilled people and made in Dallas, Texas, USA.

We sweat the details so you only have to focus on your rod build.

You can trust a Rod Forge blank to perform as described, and have the durability that rod makers require and anglers demand.

Our process begins by obtaining input on blanks from expert fishermen, we establish design objectives and when combined with our advanced proprietary blank design software, we design mandrels and carbon fiber flag patterns to obtain the exact actions our expert fishermen demand

Every element of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Grand Prairie, Texas is engineered to rapidly respond to customer’s unique product specifications in a highly cost-conscious and time-sensitive manner.

We developed the most advanced blank design software in the world, and we use it to design every blank in the line-up.  Our software accurately predicts physical properties such as weight, diameters, and wall thickness.  These factors are important, and the best blank companies in the industry calculate these parameters, too.

Our software goes farther.  Actually it goes much farther. It uses differential equations to determine dynamic loading factors.  We calculate the bending moment at one inch increments along the blank.  We also calculate the load bearing ability of the blank at different load angles.  In common terms, we can determine the amount of “high sticking” a blank can endure, and we use this data to ensure maximum endurance is built into every blank.

We can also predict where the spine exists in the blank, and how pronounced it is.  This enables us to minimize the spine effect on the action, if desired.

Our paints and process for applying them are designed by experts in the paint industry.  We’ve thrown out convention and pursued new levels of technology so every blank coating is beautiful, tough, and long lasting.  We think your rod builds deserve a palette that is up to your standards, so build with confidence on a Rod Forge blank.

Made in The USA

Most advanced Blank design software in the world

We developed the most advanced blank design software in the world, and we use it to design every blank in the line-up.  Our software accurately predicts physical properties such as weight, diameters, and wall thickness.

Trusted by Expert Anglers

Our blank design process begins by obtaining input on blanks from expert fishermen.  Then we establish design objectives, and use our advanced proprietary blank design software to model the precise actions we are targeting.  From this model, we design mandrels and carbon fiber flag patterns to obtain the exact actions our expert fishermen demand.

The factory will continue to scale up in size as customer demand dictates; however, under no circumstances will we out pace our high-quality standards.
