As my regular readers know, I spend lots of time each fishing season field testing products to help save you time, money and aggravation when you spend your hard-earned cash on such items.
I am testing some custom rods this year. As I sit down to write this I realized that the builder of these rods is just as interesting as the rods themselves.
Jim Grandt is an Illinois guy. His business, Grandt Industries, Inc., is located in Arlington Heights. Grandt has been a manufacturer and consultant in the fishing industry for well over three decades.
He specializes not only in manufacturing, but engineering, marketing and advertising, as well. His direct, hands-on approach to developing his custom fishing rods is second-to-none.
The rods Jim builds have been specifically designed to solve most, if not all, of a modern angler’s problems and issues. His company takes a high-level, labor-intensive approach to manufacturing production.
