Mags Custom Rods Reviews

Charles B.

Last winter, we hit the Bay near Door County. Mags rods were key in all of us catching our limit on whitefish in 60' of water. The sensitivity and responsiveness of the rods was key in knowing when they were on our lures. We can't wait to hit the ice again with our Mags Rods, Trophy Fishing of Green Bay and of course the best friends a guy could have.

I haven’t really invested in a well made reliable ice rod. I decided this year to rebuild my smaller ice shanty and get a few new rods. I saw the Labor Day deal going on with Mags so I jumped on it. Received my ice rod in about 5 days, not bad . The rod is awesome looking and well constructed. I can’t wait to reel in the first fish on. Now it’s time to look into getting a couple more. Thanks Mags!! Keith Mineau

Pat, you have to try it to believe it, I was jigging 26 to 32 feet of water and when I hit the mud or a rock you could feel it like if you reached down with your hand and felt it. maybe I shouldn't be saying this and keeping this my secret but that wouldn't be fair to you or your products. Keep up the great work. as far as the reel I ordered the wrong size I should of ordered the 2000 and not the 1000 my bust. Thanks , John Amacher

Rod arrived well packaged in sturdy tube with bubble and a plastic sleeve inside. The custom colors look fantastic and the blank was straight with the eyes placed perfectly. Got to use it on panfish and some walleye under 20". The rod performs beautifully in both scenarios, great sensitivity and just the right action. I will buy again in the future.

Custom ordered a 7'2 ML spinning rod for my gf who is a Vikings fan. Asked for purple and yellow team colors. They were able to make the rod and delivered in about three weeks.

I had a custom made Mags 7’ panfish rod made last year. It was my favorite rod and I vowed to never buy another St. Croix rod again. Then the unimaginable happened. It was somehow lost on one of my fishing trips. Now maybe it will show up in a fishing buddies rod case three months from now but I had to end the pain. I just decided to order a pre-built 7’ panfish rod as a replacement. It arrived in the mail quickly and performs very well. I have already caught perch, gills, sheep, smallies, wall...

Used this rod with bottom bouncers dor walleye on the Detroit river it is very sensitive and worked flawlessly. Can't wait to put it to use on the st.clair river next month!

I believe I know own seven MAGS rods. Five spinning in a couple different actions and two of their bottom bouncer baitcasters. Quality builds and I've never had any issues with any of them. Although they have a one year warranty I've heard they stand behind their products if there's ever an issue. I recommend them to my friends.

Dude megs rods are by far more sensitive and backbone than any other rod I have tried.. Some including St Croix, and Fenwick .

It's the perfect walleye rod. I had been using my 36" rods which double for trout but they were bigger than I needed. The 32" is the perfect sensitivity/backbaone.

First time out with my custom MAGS and hit this nice Bay De Noc pig! Great rod and put on a clinic. Hands down the best rods I own.

Great to work with. Ordered a custom carbon ice rod, and when received, was the wrong colored blank. Called MAGS, and they immediately had a new one made, and it was received in a very fast time frame. Awesome response and another happy customer.

I ordered the fishing rod I wanted and it was exactly what I ordered . It came in a very timely manner. I was able to use the rod right away and was completely satisfied with the action, feel and strength. I will definitely be ordering another and recommend Mags to all my friends.

I have to have rods that have great feel and recovery in the blank. There are a lot of well built rods on the market that have spongy or blanks that have very little feel but are made well. I am very impressed with Mags rods from build quality to the blanks used (you can feel everything your jig or lure comes into contact with). These spinning rods are top shelf in my book and few $180-$250 rods can compete.

Great online purchase experience! MAGS website is intuitive and easy to use, the products I ordered arrived very quickly, and the packaging was very good. The quality of the rod is so much better that what you find in normal retail outlets; and that includes those very highly priced, big-name rods that are sold. I'm happy to be able to support this business!

Bought a power noodle last fall and loved it so much I bought another. Great backbone for harder fighting panfish like big crappie and early winter gills, but a delicate enough tip that I was catching small smelt on Lake Michigan in 20 feet of water and seeing every strike from their drive-by bites. Great value and quality!

Bait feeder spinning reel in a 1000 size! Works great for dead sticks! Seems to be very well put together and doesn't rattle or shake. Haven't had a chance to fight a fish on it yet but if it's like my other Okuma reels it will do a fantastic job

My 5 yr old love her new pole and is bound and determined to catch her first fish on the new pole its her first Mags rod

Very well balanced rod with a fast tip that is soft enough for light jigs but has the back bone for snapping plastics.

My panfish rod has great sensitivity and can handle bigger fish that I'm not targeting. I'm not worried about it not performing.

Night fishing big bluegills may be my new favorite thing to do through the ice. This monster came through around 8pm and made my night.

You were on Discovering AGAIN, to show the kid's fishing derby you put on....That truly melted my heart and I had to support you in some form, so I bought the hoodie...I've not worn it yet...it's way too hot, cause this is SERIOULY a heavy and super well made hoodie. Can't wait for winter!!

Couldn't pass up the great sale that was on this rod! After owning 2 MAGS rods already, it was a no brainer to pick up another rod on sale. Same quality as my previous custom ordered rods, just a different handle style. Keep up the great work!

First day I used it was in Door County Wisconsin for smallmouth. The rod has a great feel to it, and it held up very well on some great bass fishing! Definitely worth the money, and I will be buying another.

I accidentally ordered the wrong size! Messaged them and they were quick to respond and helpful. I sent it back no questions asked and had it replaced immediately! The shirt it’s self is high quality and is moisture wicking which has saved me out in those dog days of summer. All my friends want one now!

I have bought 4 rods from Pat. I have given them away as gifts to some pretty serious fisherman I win. So if your competitive in fishing or gift giving, these are the rods you want. Joe Stenz

I have purchased 7 rods between summer rods and ice rods, Service and quality are always top notch with Mags custom Rods! I just had a summer rod arrive broken, no fault of Mags, the USPS damaged the package and broke the rod, returned damaged product, Pat and his staff are already working on getting it replaced!! 100% recommend Mags custom rods for all your ice fishing and summer rods!!

They way to truly judge a company is when there is a problem and how they resolve it. My rod was damaged in shipping, a simple phone call and email was all it took and I got a new rod. Absolutely love how it feels but won't get the chance to really put it to work until spring. My first time dealing with Mags and they get an A_+.

Received item very quickly. Packaging for shipping excellent. The previous season I purchased a similar carbon rod that did not disappoint. Haven’t had an opportunity to try this rod on the ice yet. The quality and craftsmanship are fantastic. Light as a feather. I’m 100% sure this rod will meet my expectations. MAGS is the real deal!

Very well done!! Had a custom Jerk bait casting rod made for my son. So far, he loves it. It is hard water season right now so haven't been able to try it out yet. Mags service was top notch though. The rod looks excellent with a lot of attention to detail!

Michael D.

This is the 5th custom ice rod I have ordered from Mags and the quality and attention to detail is second to none. These are truly the best ice rods I have used and recommend them to everyone. Keep up the good work Pat and the rest of the crew, you continue to exceed my expectations and assure you that you have a customer for life!

Awesome rod. I put 15 walleyes on the ice with it 6 were 20"+. It's extremely sensitive and can handle the bigger fish. I can't wait to give my girl her's for Christmas. I won't buy another brand.
