Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzread.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

*I like the way it feels **enjoyable.fishing** recommend and cast, time will tell I only used it once but it seems to work well....*

Good job guys keep it made in America. My next rod will be a Cashion

Companies like Cashion definitely deserve more popularity than the companies that simply slap their names on imported China rods, aka “favorite fishing”.

Favorite rods have Ukrainian design and made in Korea.

Awesome vid, never used a Cashion Rod before, but heading to TW to order a few of these Made in the USA rods. Thanks John.

I worked here as a intern for 2 weeks unfortunately I did not get the job but Matt was a pleasure to work for his staff were beyond helpful with any questions or concerns I had

After seeing this I think I might buy one or two of their rods. As a Veteran I see the meaning of American made!

Nice to see rods made in USA!!!

This definitely answers the question, "Why does these rods cost so much?" I am all in for my sixth Cashion Rod. I love the transparency, honesty, and the way the boss gives a damn about his employees, also how the employees respond by giving their best effort, which results in a superior product for the customer!

Exactly , I wonder is there is any decent profit.

Wait a second. This boss has a PHD in chemistry! Man these rods and the factory are looking amazing! I feel a new inshore rod comin' on!

Glad I stuck around. Thought it was going to be just throwing reel seats and guides on a blank. Mad respect that they roll their own blanks.

Very sweet video! Agree with the comments on the employees good stuff there

Great video of how a great fishing rod is made. Glad to see employees taking pride in a their work.

Wow. That was a very cool tour to see the start to finish of a Cashion Rods. Thanks for sharing that. Sounds like a great company!

Very impressive and also nice to see him bragging on his employees. Management from all kinds of businesses could learn from this guy

Great video, always impressed by companies that truly care about the quality of their product. And nice job showing the work these folks put into these rods.

Great tour ! Will be looking for these with deep appreciation for American workers handcrafting these fine instruments

This was very interesting to watch. Thanks for showing us how rods are made. I have to say I will look into cashion rods.

Great tour of a Great Rod Company. Cashion is certainly gaining recognition across the nation, and earning respect from anglers at all levels,and I feel proud being from Raleigh NC. I’ve wanted to visit Cashion Rod company, and now you’ve given me a preview..... Bravo Cashion, and John Crews.🎣🔨🎣👍👍👍👍👍

Love my Cashion rods. Thanks for doing that tour John.

Blanks for us custom rod builders? Thank you for the vid and keeping it USA baby!

Peter Slonsky Yes, they sell just blanks.

It’s awesome seeing how my favorite rod’s are mad. Visiting their facility is on my bucket list. I currently own 15 Cashion rod’s and saving to get one of them fancy Crew’s Missile square bill rod’s.

Soooo much respect to this crew. All I can say is "that was cool"

Like what these guys are doing and stand for, USA product. Will look at this brand for my next rod.

I did not realize they did the whole process in US. Thought they just put guides on like every other rod that says made in USA. I 100% will purchase one for my next rod.

Amazing quality! One person doing one process until a finished product is achieved. American labor at its finest. Thank you.

Rods are a fine work of art and delicacy, sweet potato, there's a lot of extremely fine work in each rod, cool video! Much more to a rod than purchasing one going out and catching big fish, thanks John! 👌👍

awesome video thank you! Had no idea how much goes into these rods.. Love that they're doing it right here in USA

Cashion’s has a booth at the Fishing show in my area in January, my buddy Lonnie is always there with a smile! I have 3 rods and plan on getting two more this year! They give a great deal and a great product so I come back every year! My chatter bait rod is 4 years old and it’s good as new! Have a MH spinning rod that I caught a 9 lber two years ago, I’m proud to tell people what I fish with, American made! Love to support Cashion in their journey and John Crews also! Love you guys

A PhD in chemistry , I'd say he knows a thing or two ! Thanks for the tour , Mr.Crews !

Thanks for the video. I’ve always wondered how a rod was created. Thanks. Made in America!

Cool tour!! Thanks for that!!

Cashion is the best I bought the first one 2 years ago and another this year I love these rods.....

I have been trying to decide on a top grade worm rod and after watching your videos I am gonna save up and buy the John Crews Cashion worm rod

Outstanding Shop tour. Love the Passion for Quality.

very cool i fish for crappie right down the road from you in Vass, NC

Fantastic, love seeing the entire process

Yep, certainly got to check these out.

Need to fix the description... Cashion Rods is based in Sanford, NC, not Stanford. They’re just south of where I live. Also, great video! Looks like I will be getting my first Cashion rod at the fishing expo next week!

Great stuff

Great video, informational and American High Quality. Thanks for sharing

I’m a G Loomis man! They are also made in the US but i definitely respect Cashion rods being made here! Thanks for doing a tour!

Great informative video. I enjoyed it from beginning to end.

That was highly interesting and insightful, especially as both an Angler and an aerospace Composite Buyer. So thanks to John and Cashion Rods for all the insight and detailed process breakdown. I buy drawing based molds, prepregs, mold release agents, peel plies, vacuum bagging films, abrasives,epoxies, mold cleaning chemicals, all the good stuff, on a daily basis...which has me contemplating a career switch, over to the fishing industry =)

I own 5 cashion rods, absolutely love them, light, sensitive, and awesome value

Great folks and an excellent fishing rod!!

The old timers use to tell me when graphite glass became the big fishing pole material...now carbon fiber. Good video.

Be buying one on these soon. Super cool.

Most impressive!!! Very informative and insightful, and MOST importantly, Made in the USA. Ihad no idea they were made in Sanford. About 3 hours from me in Chesapeake, VA. Definitely will be adding 2 Cashion Rods 2mrw to my inventory. Hey John, you need to come down in our neck of the woods and fish the Northwest River and the Chowan River. They are chocker blocked full of some quality bucket mouths.👍😃🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Thanks John. Heading to TW to order some Rods. I in Cali and have heard lots of good things about Cashion Rods.

Thanks John for the tour! Next up missile baits tour,boooooom! Love your new bomb shot ned

Awesome video!

This is awesome!

Just bought my first Cashion rod a few days ago. Used it for the first time today. Great rod. I will be swapping out all my G. Loomis for Cashion.

Great video John. Very interesting how the rods are made. The fact they are made in the USA and the amount of craftsmanship put into making them makes me want to buy some. Seems like a great company. Thanks for doing this one.

I have two Cashion Rods.. chatter bait 7’1 MH, and a 7’0 Fast M spinning rod.. They are phenomenal Rods!!!!!!!!!! Our Fishing show in Illinois is in 3 days and I can’t wait to see Lonnie from the Cashion booth..This year I plan on buying the John Crew worming Rod!!!! I bought my first rod 3 years ago and have NEVER regretted my purchase, these Rods are the most sensitive Rods I’ve ever fished with!!! Made in the USA and a lifetime warranty!!!!! That’s a company I plan to stand behind!!!! Cashion you have me for life!!!!! Keep up the great products guys!!!!!!

I’ve got six Cashion rods and love them so much. The only rods I’ll fish for the rest of my life. The customer service is top notch too.

Amazing video! So interesting!

Very cool tour, thanks ! I only have one Cashion (a 7’HF), but it gets a whole lot of use !

This is a neat video!!

Thank you or that👍🏻 I am looking for a spinning rod and now I have an American brand to check out! Great stuff!

I have two of their 7’ ultralight crappie rods and I absolutely love them nice to see how they’re made

👍✔ That looks like a great place to work .

I've always bought Loomis rods over the years but after this video I might give your rods a try. Thanks for the video. (I live in Kansas City)

Hey close to my hometown! Nice tour of the facility

Great craftsmanship from a great American company - this is what America is all about folks! Can't wait to a factory visit sometime (if poss) and to get some Cashion rods!

Nice job Matt with the rods he also runs a great terment trail

I was given a Cashion Rod by a good friend of mine. I really enjoy fishing with it. I currently have a Quantum Smoke PT S3 on it right now. Definitely upgrading the reel to a Daiwa Tatula SV.

I never knew they rolled their own blanks. I'm going to give these a try this year!!!

Makes me wonder if, in a few years, we'll start to see graphene used to some degree in rods. The thought of an Ultralight rod engineered to survive a big blue catfish pleases me. The thought of it engineered and made in America makes me salivate.

Seems like a great guy and employees. Made in the USA!

They ain't that good the muppest who's video it is called it graphite at the start it's carbon pml and there is no ground braking stuff in these rods just simple carbon sticks where if they had mutli directional carbon laid 45 degrees from each layer makes afar better rod better recovery and no twisting in the rod

Wow i am impressed gonna start buying cashion rods

Just bought the CK counterbalanced rod! AMAZING! Feels light in the hand even though it's overall weight is more

I recently picked up two Cashion spinning rods. Balance and sensitivity are very nice and they are parked in the boat next to a GLX and St Croixs'. I'll Probably be adding more.

Amazing how much detail and care goes into each rod, I have a couple and I can say that you get what you pay for, extremely sensitive and light weight, I will only fish cashion from here out

Unwavering perfection, I wish I could afford one. I would need a medium to heavy action for Tuna, Striper's, and a light to ultra light for Trout. I used all sorts of poles that claimed to be the best and they broke up where the handle starts. These are made like a knife with the tang through, totally awesome.

Guides are almost always lined up by eye...looking down the rod like a rifle. Even in a production environment.

Yea think i may pick up a few now

I fish Dobyns Champion XP's right now. I believe my next rod is going to come from Cashion. Even on a couple of my Dobyns rods, the first guide on the blank isn't centered with the reel seat. Drives me crazy. I am hoping that Cashion's attention to detail can ease my OCD lol. If I am paying 200-300 for a rod I would like to see the guides perfectly straight.

Like kid with your favorite toy 😍😍🥰🥰. Going to check this out

Thanks! I build rods with purchased blanks and have over 40 others, from 2wt flyrods to extra heavy saltwater but have never seen the procedure. I guess I’ll have to purchase a few of these to check them out! 😂 (Now I’m working on how to build a split bamboo flyrod)😐 It never ends! Best Wishes for Big fishes!🎣

WOW!!!

I wish Crews knew enough about this to ask the question of about aligning the rod up with the correct parabolic bend so the handle and guides our doing a true as can be 12 to 6 bend. Arrow building and golf club shafts, even rifle barrels are built this way.

Very nice! I am in Shelby NC. I've picked up many Cashions at the tackle shop but I haven't bought one yet. That is about to change this year. Just trying to decide what to get because I already have too many rods

Thanks to Cashion for allowing this tour! I have been able to talk with Paul several times at a local trade show and he does a great job of explaining what sets these rods apart. I currently have two that I use constantly and I have tried out a few others. I have been VERY impressed with Cashion Rods. These are not just another rod made by the guys who are buying pre-made blanks and prettying them up. These blanks are legit, sensitive and very strong and 100% original. I do feel like they run just a hair stiffer than their weight rating but they also seem to break in a little bit with use. The casting Rod handles work great . I do wish the spinning rod reel seats were different, offering more grip room for those who hold the blank in front of the reel. Either way I will keep buying Cashion rods moving forward for sure.
