By far my favorite rod for tarpon fishing I’ve ever owned!
Richard P. 30. September, 2023. Like to tell ya been jigging for 30 years the Native 7ft 6in fast tip is the best I've owned and tried many. Help me to get them light bitters on the River which was the difference.must have Lucas S. 30. September, 2023. Always heard good things about Native. Finally ordered one and its every bit as good as I've heard. Amazing rod, probably my favorite now. Anthony O. 30. September, 2023. Excellent-Excellent-Excellent Eric W. 30. September, 2023. Quite possibly the best rod for throwing finesse style swimbaits and hair jigs and it’s made in Florida. Very impressed with this rod. Paired nicely with a 2500 Daiwa Ballistic andrew w. 30. September, 2023. Gift from the wife couldn’t be happier very well balanced and good action Trent S. 30. September, 2023. Great rod can’t wait to use it! Larry V. 30. September, 2023. Custom built, love it. Can’t believe I waited so long to order an open water rod! Keep up the great work! High quality product! Ryan L. 30. September, 2023. I’ve been a St. Croix guy forever but unfortunately I will be retiring them and ordering another Native custom rod. Hands down new rod of choice, amazing action and very sleek rods. 7’2 MF ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adam t. 30. September, 2023. My friend Robert ordered a rod from you guys as a gift and I have to say I'm very satisfied! The attention to detail shows how much you care about your product. I'm honored to have a Native Custom Ryon A. 30. September, 2023. The first place I used my new rod was on the river during the snook run. The water was moving fast so the long cast I got from the rod allowed me to get the lure down to depth. The fish always bit on the pause so the sensitivity of the rod helped me pick up on lighter bites in the current. When the fish was hooked the rod loaded up and I was able to land more fish, and avoid fish getting into the cover. Timothy J. 30. September, 2023. My first cast I landed a Juvinial tarpon i couldn’t be more impressed. Cannt wait to save up for a grouper rod next.
Thanks for the great product
Tim Brad S. 30. September, 2023. Absolutely love the feel and sensitivity of these rods!! This was a gift to replace the one I broke. I Can't say enough about the customer service at Native , great people, producing great products! Mark S. 30. September, 2023. I believe I know own seven native rods. Five spinning in a couple of different actions and two of their baitcasters. Quality builds and I've never had any issues with any of them. I recommend them to my friends. Mark R. 30. September, 2023. Great Rods great customer service fast shipping! Noah S. 30. September, 2023. This rod is awesome. A custom rod at a lower price then other companies but the highest quality materials to deliver an outstanding rod. The 7'2" medium light has been a blast so far with bass and even the rough fish out on the river in the spring! Brian B. 30. September, 2023. Hey everyone! I was curious if this would be a good buy or not. Let me tell you, it's one of the finest rods I've ever owned. Don't hesitate buy these rods! I'm working on replacing my offshore rods with native next. Tom V. 30. September, 2023. Got my dad a custom native spinning rod. He’s always had off the shelf rods. He didn’t know what he was missing John G. 30. September, 2023. Paired with a pflueger president xt, this is a perfect spinning setup. I used 3/16 and 1/4oz jigs for redfish and loved it. Charles B. 30. September, 2023. When the son's of one of my best friends were graduating this year, the decision to get them Native rods was an easy one. They're both Honor Students and Captains of their High School Fishing Team. We can't wait to see what these two do in their future armed with native rods!! Thanks again for making such an incredible product that I've personally been using for years. The attention to Detail, responsiveness and balance of the rods is second to none. Derek D 30. September, 2023. The best spinning rods I've ever fished. They are extremely light and the most sensitive rods I've ever had. The grip and craftsmanship is second to none. MADE IN THE USA, it doesn't get any better. Stan P. 30. September, 2023. First use of this rod, paired with Pfluger 40, 30 lbs braid, jigging . Landed a 37" (don't know exact weight-no scale). Rod performed superb. 5 min fight twice around the boat until we got it netted. Unfortunately, that was the only fish so far on this rod, but it is now my go to. Very happy with it! steve staul 30. September, 2023. Took my new native 7’2 ml to Matlacha two days after receiving and caught numerous snook with it and can say I’m very impressed michael s 30. September, 2023. Hands down the best rods I have owned. The split grips and handles feel like a glove on the hand. The feel and sensitivity is second to none... And what puts the cherry on the top..MADE in the USA!!!! Nothing better. max 30. September, 2023. Took about 2 week to receive my rods that i ordered. Ordered 2 7ft mod fast action. Amazing rods for trolling crankbaits for Bass and also awesome live bait rods. I now have 3 7ft Mod Fast From native. Thinking about purchasing another 1 or 2 if different action and weight. kenny young 28. September, 2023. just got my new rod. the whole thing is beautiful but the wrap is something out of this world very happy with my purchase! ryan thompson 28. September, 2023.

BRUHHH i got a Tittes rod from these guys!! literally a rod with naked girls in the split grip!!! 
jonathan From Cali 28. September, 2023. Used 60-80lb model for local bluefin trip in San Diego, CA.
Casted a Shimano Pencil and caught a 80lb Bluefin that I was fighting for 30mins.
I think the blank itself is very stiff. 
Fred M. 28. September, 2023. The first time I acquired one of these rods it quickly became my favorite. This rod is perfect if you need to make long and accurate casts. The line guides (especially the first or stripping guide) are larger than on comparably sized rods by other manufacturers which helps to significantly increase casting distance. 
James Goodwin 28. September, 2023. These guys build the absolute best rods on the market!
I Bought my first rod from them 4 days ago the rod shipped the same day and got delivered yesterday. i ordered a 7,6 medium twisted tea rod. I obviously had to take it out as soon as the mail ran. well, 3rd cast I hooked into my biggest snook! The rod handled like a charm!!
