About Trident Custom Rods

Handcrafted fishing gear built in the Rio Grande Valley — rods, lures, and tackle made for anglers who demand quality.

Our Story

Pharr, Texas

Trident Custom Rods started in 2023 the way most great fishing businesses do — out of a genuine love for the craft. We began building custom fishing rods and getting them directly into the hands of local anglers, delivering personally and building relationships one rod at a time.

There was no storefront, no warehouse — just quality builds, word of mouth, and a commitment to doing things right. That foundation is still what drives everything we do today.


How We Got Here

Our journey
2023
Started online — custom rods & personal delivery

Trident Custom Rods launched as an online-only operation, building custom fishing rods to order and delivering them personally to customers across the Rio Grande Valley. Every rod was built by hand to exact customer specs — blank, guides, handle, and finish.

Early 2025
Opened our storefront in Pharr, Texas

After two years of building a loyal customer base through online orders and personal deliveries, we took the next step and opened a physical storefront in Pharr, Texas. For the first time, customers could walk in, see the work in person, discuss a build face to face, and take home their order on the spot.

Late 2025
Expanded into custom soft plastic lure making

With the storefront running, we expanded into custom hand-poured soft plastics. Made in small batches with custom colors and patterns, our lures are crafted with the same care as our rods. No two are exactly alike — that's not a flaw, that's the point.

2026
Added accessories — Pro-Cure & terminal tackle

In 2026 we completed the shop by adding Pro-Cure scents and attractants and a range of pre-made terminal tackle — ready to fish, in stock, and available online and in store.

Coming Soon
Custom terminal tackle

The next chapter for Trident is already in the works — custom terminal tackle built in-house. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to launch.


What We Offer

Our products
Custom Fishing Rods
Built to order

Every rod is handbuilt to your exact specifications — blank, guides, handle, and finish. No two rods are the same because no two anglers are the same.

Custom Soft Plastics
Hand poured

Small-batch, hand-poured soft plastics in custom colors and patterns. Natural variation is part of the craft — each lure carries the mark of being made by hand.

Pro-Cure Scents & Attractants
In stock

We carry a selection of Pro-Cure products — trusted scents and attractants used by serious anglers to put more fish in the boat.

Terminal Tackle
In stock

Pre-made terminal tackle available in store and online. Hooks, weights, jig heads, and more — everything you need to rig up and get on the water.

Custom Terminal Tackle
Coming soon

We're currently working on bringing custom-built terminal tackle to the shop. Built in-house with the same attention to detail as everything else we make. Stay tuned for updates.

Want to be the first to know? When custom terminal tackle launches, we'll be announcing it through the store. Keep an eye on our website or get in touch if you'd like to be notified.

Why Trident

Our commitment

We're not a warehouse. We're not a big box store. We're a small, owner-operated fishing business that started by delivering rods personally to customers — and that same hands-on care still drives everything we do. When you order from Trident Custom Rods, you're dealing with the people who built it.

Every order matters to us. Whether you're picking up a bag of soft plastics or commissioning a full custom rod build, you'll deal with us directly. We answer our own messages, pack our own orders, and take pride in every single thing that goes out the door.
