Step onto an
offshore boat,
and one thought
can come up.

Ch-ching.

This vessel’s pricey.

So do you fish
with mediocre
rods on the trip?

Of course not.

You fish with rods
as special as the
blue-water boat.

Rick Bogert has
got that covered.

Rick Bogert Rods
are custom built for
tuna and billfish.

“That’s what we do, and that’s what we do better than anyone else,”
the company says.

What’s more, Rick is an artist, including a big-game and boating
painter.

He’s also a blue-water angler.

With the rods, “form meets function,” the company says,
“(and the) styling … will turn heads.”

The rods are
built with the finest components, the company says, and
the blanks are selected according to the angler's needs or
style desired.

The rods are
built to order, and feature details like hand-painted fish
and the name of the angler or the boat.

Three series of rods are available.

The Premier Series features rods for trolling, giant tuna fishing and
stand up fishing.

The Canyon Series features rods for trolling and stand up.

The Coastal Series are a “perfect all around rod,” the company says,
for everything from trolling for blue marlin to fishing for roosterfish or bottom fishing.

Rick Bogert Rods are guaranteed for life.

art work, jewelery, posters, custom
T-shirts and more.
