Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

Nothing beats a hand made product. Automation just cant replicate experience , feel and heart put into every piece.

[@moonchung101]

Man now I need a custom seeker. Great to see hand made in the USA and I’ll definitely pay for the quality knowing how much skill and craftsmanship goes into making them

[@derekwalsh4583]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

[@joereid8557]

i respect how you speak so highly of your workers

[@bernaduskailemakurfishing]

Greetings from Indonesia, Maluku Province, the Aru Islands, on the Indonesian border with Australia

[@duncancooke16]

Wow! it is really neat to see a top notch manufacture build their product on video. I love how Seeker wraps the end of the sheet material multiple times around the mandrel to reduce axial stress concentrations in the finished rod when it is fighting a fish. Really impressed!

[@rossliebenberg4171]

Respect to the woman whose in the building an manufacturing of these products

[@richardaguirre8484]

Thanks for sharing with us to see the manufacturing process of American quality fishing rods. Thumbs up to the Dedicated, hardworking people who build Seeker rods for you and me

[@user-jc4yv7eg7c]

I was in your shop in Orange yesterday. Last year I bought a 2x3 and enjoyed it so much this year I had to get a 30# bait/jig stick. You guys build some nice stuff. Wish I could have gotten a tour there👍

[@Russeroo]

What a great company to support. Staff are a real asset

[@JD.California_monkey_mackerel]

I love this video it's nice to know how fishing rods are made I love pier fishing 🎣 and I love

[@_JimS]

[@dgreathouse10]

Very well done Sir I really enjoyed the fact that you respected your employees all through video and especially the great quality of your building process. Thank you for the integrity of your rods and your professional quality to do job the best you can.

[@flyspoke]

Thanks for the video. As a custom builder, I enjoy seeing every bit of information from a production shop. Thanks.

[@flyspoke]

[@shawnmoorshead9061]

Great video guys and gals at seeker rods. Keep up the great work. It says a lot about a shop/factory that has multiple year employees.

[@KUPZ29]

hand made fishing rods, it's awesome. someday, i'll own one of these rods. thanks for the video.

[@johnechterhoff4791]

Darin; that was one great video and narrated tour; thanks. I'm 63 and have always heard of Seeker rods in California. I am surprised at the variety of your rods, i.e., freshwater, too! Thanks again. JEE.

[@rodneygreen9968]

THANKS for the Video on producing the Seeker Rods. I'm going to check them out.

[@billwhiles6064]

Ditto.. I have always seen them as lower end rods . But NOW with employees that have been there so long it's come full circle... Quality assurance...

[@hanselyune3225]

Love your video. Awesome production facility. Love my custom 95MAG!!! Thanks

[@thelettertsix]

that slow jam at the start! love that bass!

[@richardvargas9224]

Once you fish with a Seeker you will never fish anything else. Love these rods and worth every penny.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Hate to tell you but this isn't how Seeker has made rods for nearly 5 years. The company was sold and production was moved overseas. The gentleman giving this presentation and much of the staff went to United Composites. Seeker rods have gone downhill since the ownership change happened. If you can find a Seeker from before 2017 they are absolutely awesome. Not so much since then though.

[@tylerbrandon7961]

Definitely gunna be making a trip there soon I’ve fished them forever and so do all my close Friends but I need some new heavy rods for sure

[@ivanrossetti2027]

Complimenti per il lavoro che fate

[@kaosaechao2659]

those fishing rods is look beautiful rods i have to get one fishing is my favourite game thanks for showing us

[@JoseeriveltonLima-ze8sq]

Muito bom ver essa produção em massa eu ficaria muito feliz se eu fosse premiado com uma dessa

[@liewthiamsoonthiamsoon361]

I owe a couple seeker fishing road from spinning, trolling and stand up fighting roads. very good quality fishing rods.

[@johnnymossville]

You really make me want a Seeker Rod. Excellent video.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Don't buy a new one. They haven't made rods like this for years.

[@Killerrock501]

Amazing video thank you!

[@letsfishing]

Thanks you boss for the information 👍👍 always successful

[@jonathanle7161]

Seeker’s should start making “Acid Rods” aka “Spiral Wrapped Rods”.., I’ve been a true believer of Acid Rods more and more! I also feel that conventional rods is far more weaker as how it’ll twist as the bigger fishes are pulling HARD!!! And as for spiral wrapped rods there’s no twist lol *smiles* Seeker’s should listen 😉

[@donsmith6444]

A very fascinating tour of the making of a Seeker. There is one point I have missed: the integration of the composite of graphite and glass. Is the glass the outer layer?

[@kangaruman2359]

Love American made Seekers!

[@rogerpackham15]

Very neat👍👍. Subscribed

[@georgejessop3246]

I have added one step to make my rods perfect; I added weights to the butt under the butt cap to balance the butt with the blade where my fingers hold the rod at the reel seat. The only weight I feel is the lure. My wrist doesn't have to twist the tip upwards against the blade weight, the butt weights do it.

[@djstallert226]

Darin Do you make a carp blanks from e-glass or s-glass?

[@jimmyc451]

Cool stuff

[@joseluissaiznavarro6178]

Very good.

[@danielmurzellotheunknownma7481]

[@Fishhoundnation]

[@jimmycult3285]

[@danielfurtado4748]

[@rumpestillskin4671]

How hard is it to get a Super Seeker as a Demo ?? They are the best of the best.

[@darronmecak5720]

i was a custom rod builder back in the 80s when i first saw seeker blanks,the sales rep said the guys that used to work for sabre now make seeker blanks was this true ? just curios,great video.

[@werftv4580]

damn.. beautiful..

[@layneinouye734]

Do you guys make custom ulua or large gt poles?

[@thesouthfloridafishingshow4582]

What is your average price for the 30# class, 50# class and 100# class rods sea rod?

[@martinquintana4406]

Great video. I've just started building custom rods and I know what you mean about the time consuming this hobby is, but when the final project is done great joy. I have a question for you Mr. Dohi, what do you do with the blanks that has in perfections or flaws? I have a lot of trouble finding blanks at a decent price. I'm a disabled combat veteran and I build custom rods and give them to people who aren't fortunate enough to afford a fishing pole, so that's what I do.I sure hope you get back with me a lot of companies just blow me off or ignore my question. Aloha from theMid-West.

[@girabaldytasty6224]

Haha he's not gonna respond he's not at seeker anymore lol. Pretty much all of seeker is at United composites now since Randy penny bought UC.

[@bobbymonroy5054]

I want one!

[@izhaldoank5749]

Nice

[@KOMUNITASMANCINGBANJARSARI]

Pada keren2 rod nyaa.

[@kellycollins6856]

Hey I am a disabled fisherman. Would it be possible to get one of your rods that has a slight defect. Instead of throwing them away I would love to have one of your jig sticks for bass out here in oregon

[@Krom1hell]

I always thought that a rod should be light and strong.....my im12 rod has towed a 7 man boat without arguing with me for a moment :)) (and it is a medium strength for 25g baits) Wondering what military grade means then? Still good job on making great looking rods

[@mustafaakuncu1876]

Surf casting kamışı da yapıyormusunuz

[@wahyusarwadi9814]

[@muhammadruntuk825]

[@kagnewmp12]

Went to web site but it does not have info on how to purchase rods. Do you have to buy them from a dealer only

[@baclieustud]

dealer only,,or private seller.

[@hanygharib3029]

Superb craftsmanship but I wish u didn't use the background music. Where r u located?

[@classicgentlemen4513]

[@handokorambo6517]

[@muhddanial8584]

[@teamlobag794]

Wow can i have same sample im from Philippines....

[@rickcruz3382]

Just thinking about what kind of BAD a** big fish you can catch with these rods is making my heart pound !

[@gabrielronai]

music is too loud otherwise nice vid thx

[@ziyasanjari4191]

How can I get this type of fishing rod

[@ivanrossetti2027]

Vorrei sapere se si può avere una vostra maglietta grazie

[@Pesca_inusual]

💪🐟🎣

[@floridaman9968]

Seems like a very primate manufacturing process that could be improved by leaps and bounds to create a drastically better product. Clean rooms, automation, strict tolerances, CAD...

[@user-xm3ux6es3h]

i would love ta get a catalog from yall😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@bho8500]

我如何買一支.

[@DuniaXtraPlay]

Did Rod blank priducting?

[@newtonsarkar5171]

where are buy fishing rod

[@BigBillCustomRods]

Lol, "as a custom rob builder myself it would take 1 to 2 hrs to apply epoxy on a rod, they do it with a brush I am scared of". Question what epoxy does he use? My flex coat open time is about 20 mins. Great tour thou thanks.

[@ryantg5826]

Pingin pesen.

[@md.zahidulislam9581]

Hi I am from bangladesh. I need to know how much prices per peace fishing rod.I am ashopkeeper.foridpur dhaka Bangladesh.

[@65FullMoon83]

Yea, very interesting. I agree with the other listeners. The addition of the music is way too loud and distracting. It takes away from the video instead of enhancing the viewers experience. This video needs help. Otherwise well done.

[@benjoemurillo2822]

If I want to buy some rod how can I get I’m here in Dubai

[@bluetoad2001]

the stupid syncopated background music is annoying

[@runninglife5908]

Right Agree

[@uttamkumar4700]

How much the cost in Indine currency

[@Snoekvisser1972]

About two bowls of indian curry but don't quote me on it

[@jmcknight63ify]

THE MUSIC PLAYING WHILE HE IS TALKING IS ANNOYING..

[@BassSniperTV]

I think it's set perfect. It would be boring with out. Even the real how it's made has music playing during the explanation phase of the video. Is it just that it's not you type of music that makes it annoying? Because when it's rock and roll used it irritates me as well!

[@andrewcox826]

Do seeker make flyfod blanks

[@pesqueirosemdestaque]

Boa tarde para mim compra um vara de pesca de carbono ela é duas parte e para mim no Brasil de 15 libra .6.6 pés meu nome Reginaldo

[@quypham5479]

Bán cho tôi một chiếc được không

[@luketutolo]

Mexixan work force

[@robertoleite5279]

Nice rods, Just a question as Brazilian Why do you only have Mexican workers on your compane on USA , Can't you find a American to work over there?

[@julioaguirre44]

No American people want to be paid lots of money get all kinds of benefits. Latinos are hard workers
