The Down Rodders Origin
My love for fishing started over 25 years ago with ocean fishing. After moving to Minnesota in 2011, I discovered a passion for local fishing. Joining the American Carp Society inspired me to create homemade bait, which eventually led to crafting custom rigs for various fish. From this, Down Rodders was born, blending years of experience with a commitment to quality and innovation.
