At Beyond the Slot Angling, every rod we build is more than a tool — it’s a precision-tuned extension of the angler. Designed for those who demand more than “off the shelf” performance, our custom rods blend cutting-edge components, advanced tapers, and hand-finished craftsmanship to deliver unmatched sensitivity, balance, and control. Available in many of the most popular lengths, weights, and actions we tailor our rods to match, not only the angler, but the styles of fishing they prefer.
BTS rods make the perfect gift for that special angler in your life that already has everything — except a rod built exclusively for them. Contact us today to discuss the details of your new favorite fishing rod! Prices start at $350 with the standard quality components.

Every great day on the water starts with confidence in your gear. The truth is, your fishing trip can only be as good as the equipment your using— and that’s where BTS Angling makes the difference. From the backbone of the blank to the detail in each guide wrap, our rods are built to perform when it matters most. Whether you’re working a lure through the current or fighting that trophy fish in the shallows, our custom builds give you the sensitivity, strength, and reliability to fish harder, longer, and smarter. Because when your gear works as hard as you do, every cast becomes a chance at something unforgettable.
We believe your rod should reflect you — your style, your passion, and the way you fish. Every custom build starts with a conversation, not a catalog, ensuring your rod is tailored to your exact preferences. From bold color schemes that match your boat or favorite flat, to component choices that fit your style and grip feel, every detail is personal. Whether you’re the weekend wader or the die-hard tournament angler, your BTS rod is built to mirror your personality and purpose — a one-of-a- kind tool crafted to fish the way you do.
