Real Fisherman Reviews

"Commander Rods turn a questionable light bite into, Get the Net!! I'm an avid tournament angler fishing the Cabela's Master's Walleye Circuit. When I'm not fishing tournaments I'm a fishing guide and want the best dependable equipment for my customers. When I think of rods it has to be Commander Rods. They have a sensitivity second to none. Contact me for any questions on Facebook or my cell 320-248-8747."

"Commander Rods are some of the best sticks I have ever used, lightweight, sensitive but yet very strong. There are many applications for the rod. They are great Multi-Species rods and work well with various techniques. I fish bass tournaments and do a lot of guiding, and these rods perform every time for me. If you are looking to purchase a quality fishing rod, look no further, Commander Rods should be your first choice. Contact me for any questions at douglas.guy@hotmail.com."

Tournament Fisherman (Bass) and Fishing Guide

"Commader Rods are sensitive and durable. I used the Crossover Series rod called the Wicked to pull in one of the biggest muskies of my life! It is perfect for light muskie tackle for the fisherman that doesn't want to break the bank but wants a quality rod. I also used the Crossover Series rod called the Pulse. It is sensitive with a moderate fast tip, perfect for tubes and other light, and more finesse ways of fishing bass. I'm also one of the captains for the fishing club at our local High School and work at Christopherson's Bait in Alexandria, MN."

"The 6'6" Pete Harsh Series rod has been a great all-around rod for me. From casting floats for Panfish and Walleye, all the way to flipping worms for Bass. It has the perfect balance of sensitivity in the tip to detect subtle bites, along with a solid backbone to drive the hook sets home. "

"The 7'10" Wicked is a great workhorse for fishing heavy slop or top water for Bass. The length provides you with plenty of leverage to make running top water baits a breeze. It really shines when punching jigs through heavy weed patches. Where the great qualities of length, sensitivity, and backbone come together perfectly to get the fish up and out quickly."

"After many years being frustrated searching for the ideal rod I've finally found it with Commander Rods. The sensitivity is comparable to none. The lightweight design makes a day on the water holding a rod effortless. The quality that you get is better than others costing more than twice as much. Whether pulling a crankbait, jigging, fishing slip bobber, or using a live bait rig you can't go wrong. Any questions, you can find me on Facebook or rrosenfield@hotmail.com"

"Whether jigging with the 6'1" or live bait rigging with the 7' spinning rods, the feel and sensitivity of Commander Rods led my partner and me to several high finishes in the AIM weekend walleye series."

Steve Whiting

Tournament Fisherman, AIM Weekend Walleye Series

"I started using Commander Jigging Rods (CRS601S model Fast Action 6'1, 1/8 - 1/2 oz) this spring [2013] on the Detroit River. If there is any place in North America to test these superior rods, it's the Detroit River in April. From 3 pound walleye to 12 pounders, the Commander Jigging Rod outperformed my expectations. The Commander has everything you want in a high-quality rod; backbone for quick solid sets and a fast action tip to play out the fish. Fishing several walleye tournaments each year from the Illinois River to Lake Michigan's Bay's De noc and my favorite places the Detroit River and Lake Erie, I was impressed with the beating these rods took in my boat. What is impressive is the quality of the rod for the price. You would pay hundreds of dollars for this quality with any other top brand rod builder. I would recommend these rods to any angler. Good Fishing."
