8 Reasons Why I Joined Team Cashion
When it comes to my partnerships / sponsors, etc, I have fished for some great ones through the years but last year, I took a HUGE step back to think hard about how I can be the best for myself, my family, my beliefs, and the partners I can also call friends but also provide something in return to those that believe in me.
I spent a lot of time nailing down where I wanted to land and who I wanted to work with for the fishing part of my “job”.
I put “job” in quotes because it never really feels like work when I work with rad folks.
Simply put, I landed where I was meant to.
My youngest and I spent the day back in July with the folks at Cashion Fishing Rods at their factory in Sanford, North Carolina. Not far from where I have family and close to places I remember frequenting as a kid with my Parents.
Right here in the beautiful state I call home.
Quality, craftsmanship, and dedication to staying American-Made right here in my own backyard.
A no brainer.
Here’s 8 reasons why I joined Team Cashion to fish my heart out, create rad things, and keep cranking on building this thing I call a job…
Cashion Fishing Rods have built a reputation for being some of the best on the market because they combine high-performance engineering with thoughtful, angler-focused design.
1. American-Made Quality
Every rod is designed, rolled, and built in Sanford, North Carolina.
This full in-house manufacturing means tight quality control and a consistent product, something many big-name brands can’t match.
2. Proprietary Carbon Fiber Blanks Made in Sanford, North Carolina
Cashion uses a unique, aerospace-grade carbon fiber pre-preg that gives their rods an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
The result: rods that are feather-light yet incredibly sensitive, so you can feel the faintest bites.
3. Sensitivity Is Off the Charts
Their blanks and handle materials transmit vibrations extremely well.
You’ll feel bottom composition changes, subtle taps, and even bait movement, giving you a competitive edge.
4. Advanced Handle Technology
Instead of traditional cork or EVA foam, Cashion uses a carbon fiber weave grip that’s durable, lightweight, and impervious to UV, water, and temperature changes.
This ensures a consistent, tacky grip whether your hands are wet, cold, or sweaty.
5. Purpose-Built for Technique
Cashion offers technique-specific series (cranking, flipping, finesse, etc.) where each rod is tuned for optimal length, action, and power.
This takes the guesswork out of matching your rod to your style of fishing.
6. Lightweight but Strong Hardware
Premium Fuji guides and reel seats keep weight down without sacrificing durability.
Smooth line flow means longer, more accurate casts.
7. Durability That’s Proven on the Water
These rods hold up to years of tournament abuse.
Anglers report fewer breakages and a long “like new” feel, even after hard use.
8. Backed by Real Anglers
Cashion rods are designed by people who fish — not just engineers.
They’re tested in real-world conditions before hitting shelves.
