318 | Crafting the Perfect Rod with Doug Roberts Jr.

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with Doug Roberts Jr., owner of FishNFX Rods, to dive into his lifelong passion for fishing and craftsmanship. Doug shares how his love for the sport began with his grandfather, preparing tackle the night before every trip—making sure rods were clean, lines were strong, and hooks were razor-sharp. The process of getting everything just right became just as thrilling as the fishing itself. At age 10, he discovered the joy of tying flies, further fueling his obsession with precision. But as he grew older, simply choosing spots and crafting tackle wasn’t enough. That passion evolved into building custom rods, pushing the boundaries of performance and design. Join us as Doug takes us through his journey of dedication, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect fishing experience.Viewers get 10% off their orders to FishNFX Rods!
