There is Nothing More Personal Than Choosing or Building Your Own Fishing Gear
Hello, fellow fishing enthusiasts! Are you looking for a new premium fishing rod without the price markup of your local sporting or fishing goods store? We’ve got a great solution for you! L3 Rods provides custom-built rods and do-it-yourself kits for your next premium fishing rod. With us, you can specify the exact components, rod performance, and look you desire. Plus, we carry the same warranties as the manufacturers.
We also offer beautiful custom-made fishing nets that are absolutely stunning. They are handmade on-site (or built by you in one of our classes!) in Citrus Heights and feature excellent craftsmanship and quality. Made of laminated wood and a rubber ghost net, these nets come in two sizes and reduce damage to your catch when compared with nylon nets.

Our Services
L3 Rods provides a variety of services along with the rods we sell. We can build your new rod for you, teach you how to use it properly, and fix it if anything ever goes wrong with it or another rod.
We offer rod repair services to get your favorite rod back into tip-top shape and ready for another day out fishing. Prices are determined on a case-by-case basis after L3Rods inspects the damaged rod. Repairs can be comprised of many issues.
L3 Rods offers an exceptional custom rod building experience for beginners to enthusiasts. Classes are ongoing and consist of three 3-hour sessions followed by homework and are flexible to match your schedule. The costs of the class are covered by the purchase of an L3Rods rod kit. You choose the one that best matches your budget. The kit price includes instruction by L3Rods, materials, supplies, and building equipment. L3Rods reserves the right to have final touch on the rod to correct issues and do the final epoxy stage. If you are interested in a rod building class, please contact L3Rods directly. If you would like to use your own rod kit, the cost would be $200 to cover the cost of instruction, materials, and supplies. Again, L3Rods reserves the right to have final touch on the rod to correct issues and do the final epoxy stage.
L3 Rods welcomes Net Building Expert, Dennis Lorenzetti, to L3Rods!
