Tungsten Edge is the only weights ill have paired with my TrashCan Rodz, because every bite counts on those tough days!

What a great weekend for memories down on Lake Guntersville in Sweet Home Alabama!! A few records broke and a lot of sore muscles from fighting the wind all weekend. We got a lot of catches on the TrashCan Rodz they will not disappoint Can’t wait to hit the water again soon.

8 months ago when I received my dads ashes I knew right away what I wanted to do with them. I wanted to somehow turn his ashes into a fishing pole so he could forever be on the boat with me and always out fishing with me. I had a very specific build in mind and I knew it wasn’t going to be cheap or easy. I spent the better part of 2 weeks searching for different custom rod builders and I spoke with 5 of them companies over the phone and text messages. Most of the conversations didn’t go far in fact one guy told me what I was looking for was damn near impossible. I almost gave up on my dad’s custom rod until one day by dumb luck I came across this little back yard company based out of Eddy Texas, a man named Tony Rice owner of TrashCan Rodz .. me and Tony spent 6 hours texting back and forth about what I wanted to do and the vision I had for what I was calling “Dads Last Cast” everything from my extremely rare custom paint job * *Chrysler blue* my dads favorite color by the way.. To the grips, the epoxy coat, guides and the ashes lay out, you name it. Tony walked me through his entire catalog making sure he had everything I was looking for, he then proceeded to call me on my cell phone and we talked for another 45 minutes and he ended that conversation with “ Tim I can make this happen” not only did Tony turn my dads dream rod into a reality but he did it while battling his own family issues, he kept me up to date every step of the way, good news or bad news he was always in contact with me and upfront and honest..Tony took my dad’s ashes and turned them into a one of a kind custom built rod.. thank you Trash can Rodz for the work you did on this project it was well worth the wait and I know it was NOT an easy project. Dad you may be gone from this earth but you will always be in my boat fishing with me now, miss you old man. Pictures and video do the rod ZERO justice, it’s just something you have to see in person to really appreciate the craftsmanship of this build. I highly recommend anyone looking for a custom built rod to check out Trash can Rodz on Facebook, he does so much more then just custom rod building also
