Sixth Sense Sticks offers two main types of rods: pre-built custom rods ready for purchase, tailored for species like bass, trout, catfish, and saltwater fish; and fully build-to-order custom rods personalized through consultation to match your target species, fishing style, and technique.
During the consultation, the founder discusses your fishing locations, target species, techniques, and any issues with your current gear. This helps specify rod parameters such as length, power, action, grip style, and guides to build a rod optimized for your needs.
Sixth Sense Sticks is based in Eden, Utah.
