Thank you for visiting Texas Sidewinder Rods. Whether you are looking for a conventional wrapped rod or a spiral wrapped rod, we are sure that you will find our custom made high performance fishing rods to be a welcome change from the mass-marketed, gimmick loaded product found today in sporting good stores.

All of our fishing rods are completely hand crafted. There are no assembly lines and we assure you of a top quality product. Our blanks are state of the art multi modulus graphite. We use PVD TiCh or Double Black Chrome finished SS316 stainless guides with Zirconium inserts for ultimate durability. We wrap every single foot guide with the "Forhan Locking Wrap". There are many options available to customize your fishing rod.
If you do not see what you want please contact us, we can build most anything you would like.

Texas Sidewinder Rods specializes in the spiral wrap fishing rod. Spiral wrapped rods can also be referred to as an "Acid Wrap", which is a name that started on the West Coast when Jim Racela, a supporter of the spiral wrap, was accused of being on acid when he constructed a rod with guides being in the spiral position. Also called the 'Robert's Wrap" after Chuck Roberts, a custom rod builder that also supported the spiral wrap. There are many advantages to using a spiral wrapped rod. For more information, please read Steve Bowcott's article from the February 2007 issue of Bass & Walleye Boats located on our 'Articles' page.
