Background
As the owner of DH Custom Rods and Tackle, fishing has been Captain Dusty's passion since his youth. He made an exit from the corporate grind over 13 years ago to design and build custom fishing rods. Now with two retail Pro Shops in the twin cities and multiple guide boats, his company is one of the most complete outfitters in Minnesota.
Techniques
DH Custom Rods and Tackle fishes everything. Period. It entirely depends on the bite and what the client wants to learn that day.
