25.01.2022 This weeks build were a pair of 7'3" Bream Boss Long cast built for Jason Kerrison. This model is built on 2-4kg High modules blank, with Fuji SKSS seats (Matagi Painted) and full Fiji Titanium Sic guides in a micro guide train. This rod retails for $530 with the Sic's or $480 with Titanium alconites.

25.01.2022 Hey Guy's, I've just been going through the shed and have decided I have Waaaaay to many rods so I have decided to run a bit of a Stocktake sale over the next month or so to thin them out a bit. The rods I will be selling will be mainly used rods from my personal collection, prototype rods that will be near new the odd factory second (any faults will be clearly explained) and the odd brand new rod. To make it fair on everyone I have decided to auction them on ebay that way I ...don't get bombarded with all the I was in first and guys that commit only to never end up paying. All the second hand rods will start at $1.00 that way you guys get to chose what you want to pay for it based on the description and photos I have provided. The Normal retail price of the rod is clearly marked in the description as is my honest assessment of the condition of the rod. The auctions will be short (Only 3 Days) I hope to put up a rod a week for the next few weeks all going well. The first rod I'm auctioning is a 5'9" 3-5kg Cod stopper. I'm starting it at $1.00 so if your interested you could end up with a very cheap custom rod. Any questions please don't hesitate to message me here or via ebay. I will not be selling it for any price prior to the end of auction under any circumstances so please if you want to make an offer make it online through the ebay auction. Get on it guy's, Happy Bidding! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

25.01.2022 Once again I've been very slack in updating the page. As per usual there have been plenty of rods going out the door, over the next couple of days I'll get onto it and post up some of the more unusual builds. Cheers

25.01.2022 Just a heads up that Episode 2 of the Australian Fishing Championships airs today at 11.30am on Chanel 9. This episode features Howler Pro Staffer Steve Gill who has chosen to use both the Bream Finesse and the Bream Boss FRS rods while competing in the series. Be sure to flick over and have a look.

24.01.2022 Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posting here lately, we have been absolutely flat out! I thought I'd share this interesting full custom build I recently finished for a client. Built on our High modules 6'9" 5-7kg Barra blank we incorporated a full carbon handle and foregrip. While the look may not be for everyone the carbon is super light, giving you a "direct hand on blank feel" that amplifies the overall sensitivity Of hge rod ten fold. Finished off with titanium Torzite Stripping guide and top with Recoil wire frames in between it makes for one it the most light weight sensitive Barra rods going round.

24.01.2022 Bream finesse with purple trim....

24.01.2022 I want to send out a huge congratulations to Howler Custom Rods pro staff member Steve Gill for taking out his maiden ABT win on the Derwent River over the weekend. Steve took his huge bag of 11.65kg using the 7' foot 1-3kg Bream Finesse Rods one of lightest Rods in the Howler line up. Well done again mate, it was a well deserved win!

23.01.2022 Putting some bits and pieces together for another Barra Boss build. Love Matagi quality products!

21.01.2022 A big congratulations to both the Howler teams fishing the Bream Classic grand final the past two days. Both teams finished in the top half of the field with Shane Ling and Greg Woods (team Howler Custom Rods) fishing a very respectable 13th and Grant Stingle and Steve Bond (Team Howler Nano series) finishing a not so shabby 33rd out of nearly 70 teams! It was a gear effort by both teams, well done guys! Cheers H.G... http://www.bream.com.au/modules.php

21.01.2022 Check out this full custom 6'8" 4-7kg FRS Barra Boss I Just completed for Nick in QLD. I personally loved the tapered shape of the full cork rear grip as Nick suggested. You'll be seeing allot more of this style grip on many of my rods to come.

20.01.2022 A cracking Bass taken on the weekend by Jason Palmer using his full custom 6'10 2-4kg camo series IM rod. The same blank is now part of our Bass Boss range. Well done mate, thanks for sending in the pic

17.01.2022 Wow, we just hit 1000 likes! Thanks everyone for your fantastic support!!

17.01.2022 Check out this pic of Jake from Weflick fishing from his recent trip up north. He's locked into a GT on the Howler 2-5kg FRS Bass Boss. For a rod with such a finesse tip it has insane power through the butt! Nice work Jake!

15.01.2022 The 7' foot 2-4kg 2 piece Trout Boss FRS is seriously one of the nicest blank we build on!! Tricked up with a bit of Matagi Bling makes for a very special rod........

15.01.2022 They say Red goes faster! With a bit of luck this pair of 7' 2-4kg IM Bream Boss's will help out Shane Ling in this weekends first round of the Tasmanian Bream Classics! Good luck Shane and everyone else competing in this years event.

15.01.2022 Hi all, were back for a big 2014. Sorry for the lack of posting of late, I have been absolutely flat out over the xmas break! I will update the page with plenty of photos from my latest builds over the next week or so. Thanks for all the new Likes over the past couple of months, we now have over 1,200 followers!! Also thank to all those that have shared our Page and our photos, keep spreading the word, we love it!! Stay tuned for plenty more to come.... Cheers

14.01.2022 A 6' foot 1-3kg Bream finesse matched to the new Daiwa Luvius built for Nick Mace. Good luck with your comp this weekend mate.

13.01.2022 Apologies for the lack of post here of late, as per normal we have been absolutely flat out! Over the next few days I'll get up a few photos of some recent builds. First up is a 2-4kg FRS Bream Boss colour matched to suit the new model Daiwa Gekkabijin.

13.01.2022 Good luck to all the lads fishing the Tasmanian Trout Classic this weekend. Great conditions forcast should see some good bags taken! Hope it all goes well.

13.01.2022 After receiving dozens of messages over the weekend regarding the Carbon fiber grips I thought I'd post up a little more info about them. The grips are available in two styles, the full handle grip with carbon foregrip as shown on Friday and a split grip incorporated into a Fiji Skeleton reel seat. To give you an idea of the how little these grips weigh the full handle was built on our High Modules 7' foot 5-9kg Barra blank, the total built weight comes in at 130 grams. The split grip was built on our 7'2" 4-7kg light Barra spin blank. The total built weight comes in at 103 grams!! That makes for two insanely light Barra rods!! Cheers

10.01.2022 Phenix K2 Blank with a Andrews Flat faced reel seat and custom split carbon grips. This is seriously one of the nicest rods I have ever felt!! Enjoy....... (Apologies for the grainy pic's, kids have been playing with the camera and had wound up the ISO!)

06.01.2022 Blank...Phenix K2 Length... 7' foot Line...... 1-5kg max lure... 7g

06.01.2022 The Rocket Launcher!! This 7'6', 2-5kg, 2 piece FRS Trout Boss is destined for the wind swept Western lakes district of Victoria. With a cast weight of 1-12 grams it has to be one of the most versatile land based trout rods going around. From finesse casting un weighted plastics to lobbing Tassie Devils or Crocodiles into oblivion and beyond this rod covers all bases. For a 7'6" rod it is extraordinarily light and super sensitive through the tip but has the balls through the back and down low to cast a mile and pull the teeth out the largest trout. Enjoy it Tom, I look forward to seeing the pic's.....

06.01.2022 The Silent Assassin.... Just finished a 6'10, 2-5kg Trout Boss matched to a 2500 Stella for Zoran. The rod is set to be given a good work out in the Snowy Mountain rivers over the next 6 weeks. Good luck with it mate. Cheers

05.01.2022 Happy Friday and tight lines to all those fishing this weekend. Ashly Hallam just sent in this photo of the Bream Boss in action, enough to fire anyone up for the weekend!!

05.01.2022 A Big Congratulation to the three Howler teams that competed in the Tasmanian Trout Classic on the weekend. All 3 teams managed to finish inside the top 5!! Justin Causby and Tim Lowe (Team Howler/Tonic) finished First place after being 6th place on day one they stormed home with a massive 34 fish bag from Arthurs Lake!! Andy McCarthy and Pat Sullivan (Team Phlueger/Howler) Finished 3rd and Shane Ling and Wingnut (Howler/Premiers 2013) rounded it out in 5th place.... ttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=772528249440205&set=a.753920987967598.1073741828.720441487982215&type=1&theater A massive effort by all involved, Well done Guys!! Cheers

04.01.2022 Congratulations to Howler Custom Rods pro staffer Grant Stingel for his Second placing as a non boater in the weekend ABT Grand final. The placing capped of a Stella year for Grant who also won the non boater in the Derwent qualifying round and took out a second placing in the Ansons Bay Kayak comp. Not a bad effort for the 3 individual comps he fished this year! Well done again mate, we look forward to the 2014 season.
