The Cast. The Bite. The Birth of Successful Company.

After years of selling other's rods, we decided it was time to design something to meet anglers' true needs. In 2012 we partnered with walleye pro, Pete Harsh, to design our own line of walleye rods. Our plan was to produce an extremely sensitive, durable, premium rod at an affordable price — meeting the fishing needs of the serious tournament angler, the weekend warrior, and the family going to the cabin. Networking with our existing industry contacts, we were able to establish Commander Rods.

Affordability is a Must.

Committed to our promise of keeping our rods affordable, we have opted for a minimalistic advertising approach — relying on word-of-mouth, social media, sports show events, and local dealers. You won't find us inflating our prices to cover a huge advertising budget, and all that savings is passed directly on to you, the customer.

Involved Owners.

At the end of the day, the rods carrying the Commander Rods name are designed to our specs and tested rigorously by us before entering factory production. Beyond research, development, and selling, we (Glen and Belinda) also take great pride in our customer service. When you call Commander Rods, you will be talking directly to one of us. We want to be as involved as possible in EVERY area of the company.

We want you to spend the most time you can on the water. If you like our products tell your friends!
