Mission

Our mission at Big Sky Custom Rods is to serve the Gallatin Valley as Montana’s premier rod-builders. We utilize creativity and craftsmanship to cultivate an unmatched outdoor experience. By opening the doors to rod crafting, we seek to connect clients to the sense of pride that comes with owning a truly unique rod and how that ownership enhances their fishing pleasure. 

Vision

The vision for Big Sky Custom Rods is to bring more anglers to the one of a kind experience of owning a hand-crafted & personalized fishing rod through artistic value and elegance.

Big Sky Custom Rods is a family owned and operated rod manufacturing business focusing on custom crafted fishing rods of all types and models. We, Alex and Jeff Pipkin, are a father and son team who truly believe in the power of a unique custom rod experience. At Big Sky Custom Rods, consumers are encouraged to become intimately involved with the rod building process. For us, Where Performance Meets Art is more than a tagline. Our rods create a sense of pride, a feeling of pleasure and a level of performance that cannot be obtained from an off the shelf, store bought rod. By allowing clients to choose the components, wrap style, color, reel seat and more, clients get a rod that is just as unique as they are.  

At Big Sky Custom Rods, we are first and foremost fisherman and rod builders by trade. As both busy family-men and avid outdoor sportsmen we understand that time is a precious, even scarce, commodity. In this day and age, appreciating the little moments is the best way to benefit from times passing which we cannot hold onto forever. At Big Sky Custom Rods we have found that our rods act as instruments for anglers to connect with those moments on the water. This feeling of release from the bustling life around us is something we are committed to sharing with our customers.
