Where it all began for Jelsma Rod Company; Mickey Jelsma, not able to find a rod suitable to fight big bluefin tuna started to create his own. With Decades of experience we have the ability, knowledge and know-how to build big fish rods. Please call or send a quote; when building these rods its only high end components. This no place for second best, Half-assed or B-S.

Glass Series Gaffs
A necessity on any boat. This isn't the place for sub par para-cord, pined in hooks or cheap hardware. we use a 316 stainless hook that is threaded into the gaff blank, mold, rot and UV resistant sealed Tuna Cord and paste epoxy to insure proper fitment that never lets go.
