My 8 Rod’s of yours are still performing at a high level, Thanks.

Kris is an outstanding person, a true gentleman! He is a very caring businessman who stands behind his product(s) and is very diligent to make sure every detail is in the finished fishing rod. I have four of his custom rods. Each rod is/was made to perfection and every detail perfect. His rods are the only rods for me and soon for my two young fishing partners! I love my fishing rods and guarantee you will love yours too.
I gave Angie her rod today, she loved it! It is very pretty, balances well and the reel seat is spectacular. Can’t wait for her to use it… Thank You!
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for the beautiful fishing rod you made for Cully! He loves it! It was a very special gift to give him on his first “official” Father’s Day. Thanks a million.
I have been sitting here trying to think of some words that describe how the seats look, but that is something that I just don’t think there are words to describe. Way more than outstanding! You have out-done yourself on that one. The work ranks up there with some of the all-time best features of “True Custom Work”, that I have seen in my 30 plus years of being in the business.
We really like our LakeLady Rods!!
The new rod LOOKS great!! And CASTS great!! I fished Mille Lacs for 10 hours, can’t remember when I casted for that long. My back did not get sore. Thanks, you do nice work!
Unbelievably, utterly, totally, mind-blowing, gorgeous! Thank you so much.
Congratulations on your fine craftsmanship. Great work. These rods are truly a work of art. I just hope there will be some walleyes left for a poor old tenderfoot like me. We appreciate your talent.
The musky rod worked great and everyone that saw it was very impressed. I got a chance to fish with it yesterday. It’s awesome both in appearance and function. The rod could not have turned out better.
Caught my first walleye in about 10 minutes… It was 29.25″ long!! Great rod, thanks so much!
The rod arrived Friday. The tube was all busted up, but the rod was untouched. Tested it out today – works great on everything from Big Forks Sand Cats to Mag. Bulldawgs. My wrists and me say THANKS!
Got the rod… It is absolutely beautiful! The color combination is perfect. Thanks so much!
The rods arrived and are beautiful. Thanks again for the workmanship on these rods.
Thanks again for all your hard work on Karl’s custom rod. I know he will enjoy using the rod for many years.
Thank you so much, too, for sharing, educating, showing us, all the explaining, etc. on Saturday. I’m so glad to have met you!
With in a couple seconds of my first casts I caught a large mouth bass. The second cast I hooked another bass…. then on the third, nothing….. something must be wrong! I suddenly stopped catching fish, something must be wrong!! All of this is tongue-in-check, as I’m extremely happy with my new rod.
OOOOHHHHH MY GOODNESS!! What a beautiful rod. I can’t wait to start fishing. Thank you for the wonderful touches on the rod. It is beautiful, the pictures do not show the true beauty.
Thanks so much for my new rod. I love the sparkles!
Walt’s rod is awesome! Thanks so much for helping with his retirement gift.
Wanted to let you know I received the fishing rod and it looks great. I can’t wait to catch a lot of fish with it. Thank you for the beautiful job you have done.
I received my fishing rod and reel in the mail today. I am very pleased with the way it looks. I really like the pattern you chose to do with the threads. I’m looking forward to fishing even more now.
Thanks for building me such a awesome custom rod. It belongs over the mantel but I’m going to fish with it! First day I caught a 18.5, 19.5 and a 20.5 large mouth bass!
My Lake Lady rod and reel worked great and with it I caught two walleye and three northern. The rod bent so nice and the reel worked great, too. Oh, what a joy it was!
I truly appreciate the sensitivity of the rod you built for me. I can almost sense them thinking about biting. Keep up the great work.
Kris, got the rods. In great condition and look amazing! Can’t wait to use them.
Emily had a great summer with her new rod! Many fish were caught at our new cabin and lots of memories to go with it. Thanks!
I am the proud owner of one of your treasured LakeLady rods. Thank you for sharing your talents and the rods with our community.
Can’t wait to give it a try ice fishing this year. I know it will handle one of those 50 plus pound Lake Trout.
I received my rod and it is gorgeous! Can’t wait to fish! Thank you for your artistry and best wishes for the future.
Got it and it is magnificent
Thanks Kris!!
I got a chance to fish with my new 7-foot fly rod this weekend and the rod casted well – much better than the 4-piece St. Croix that I have. I am very happy with the action and the results. Nice job on the rod.
Thank you for the beautiful rods. They have been put to great use. Between the two rods, I have landed ten salmon between 8-13 pounds on lead core. The rods have worked absolutely perfect. Thanks again.
I am really enjoying my new custom rod. I could feel (walleyes) breathing on the jig for maybe 20 seconds before I felt added weight prior to setting the hook… amazing. Thanks for building a great rod!
Thank you again for making Terry’s beautiful rod. He is so proud of it. I can’t thank you enought for helping me make his 60th birthday really, really special. Working with you made the whole process a treat for me as well as for Terry.
Finally got out on Friday, boated 2 nice fish, the first one on my new rod was a 70# halibut, the rod was perfect! Thanks again.
We want to thank you for donating your time and services to our Campership Program. The rod is beautifl! Thanks for sharing your talent!
We wish to thank you for making the ice fishing rods for the men in our wedding party. They absolutely loved them. You truly have a wonderful talent.
We always enjoy seeing photos of good looking rods, and with our guides on them too! I like your color selections and the gold accents in the thread with the gold rollers.
Now, I’m afraid to fish with it. Seriously, nice job!
The rods are wonderful! I can’t wait to see their eyes on Christmas Eve. Thank you so much.
The muskie rod works great, pulls lures even bigger than the legend plow. It is an impressive and beautiful machine. I will keep working for the big ‘un. Thanks!
Kris does some absolutely amazing things with blanks, wood, and cork. His work is nothing short of master level. Some of the cork combos he puts together are ridiculously beautiful.

I have used the new rod a few times now and can report that it is a real pleasure to use. It handles like a dream, cast a country mile, and is a beauty to behold! I just wanted you to know that I love it and look forward to ordering my next one in the future.
Hello! The rod is beautiful, John fished with it all weekend, he loves the 8′ length. Thank you for the fantastic work and the delivery for the musky opener!
I received my new LakeLady Rod and as I expected, I LOVE IT! What a beautiful creation. Thank you for the meticulous attention to detail. My fishing buddy of 20 years will be smiling from above while I carry on our tradition wih my new LakeLady Rod. Thank you so much!
Enclosed is a picture of my first walleye caught with my new Lake Lady rod. On May 24, 2005, while fishing on Lake Vermillion, I caught and released this 8-pound 10-ounce walleye. I really like my new Lake Lady rod. Thanks again.
Thanks for getting the rods done so quickly. Pegi is thrilled. Hopefully we will get out soon to try them out. Regards!
