Headleys Rods

Headleys Rods Headleys Rods are hardcore hand built fishing rods that are designed and constructed with your input.

Every rod built is as much a work of art as it is a functioning fishing tool.

Tommys PE4 Deep Jigg

This is the fourth rod that I have built the Eaton family and certainly not the last. This rod is a weapon and will go hard and really and turn heads down deep. She's built on a Samurai PE4-6 deep jig blank that I chopped to 5'6. Durabutt rear hard grip with ALPS anodised gimbal, reel seat and bling bits. Custom shaped from EVA game grip and the Fuji guidetrain.

Not just any guidetrain though. Ive had my first crack at using Fuji's new MC guides and they rock hard. Super easy to bind, super strong and less impact on the blank means the blank reacts better under all conditions. If your looking for an overhead build these are the guides you want.

I love the chosen colour scheme and how the colours work together to create something so uniquely different.

Thanks for the repeat business Tommy and enjoy the hunt.

2026 BFS rods under the fluro's on the white table. The pearl shell looks mad under the clear resin and the metallic pigment layers really pop and are so deep under the layers of clear finishing resin.
Each and every Headleys Rod is signed and dated with the year they were created as they are as much art pieces as they are hardcore fishing tools.

The 2026 NBSFC Billfish Shootout Rods are done.
This is the 10th year I have sponsored the Nickol Bay Sport Fishing Club and built them a set of rods for their annual Billfish Shootout. This year I was asked to build a set of 15Kg switchers using a Blue and Orange theme and that I did. Being the 10th year I wanted to do something really special for the club so all the rods built feature Urushi butt art work with mother of pearl shell pieces inlaid in the designs. Urushi is a Japanese term that translates loosely to lacquer work and that's pretty much what I do.
To start I glue pieces of mother of pearl shell to the blanks and then cover them with a series of layers of coloured resin that have been tinted with metallic pigments one layer at a time. Once one layer is dry I apply the next layer and so on until the shell is completely covered. I then sand back these layers on a high speed lathe until I get the result I'm happy with. As I sand back the different coloured layers these layers become distinct and more and more visible and contrast each other. I then complete the urushi with multiple coats of clear finish. A tonne of painstaking work sure but the results speak for themselves. Needles to say this type of decorative work is rare as rocking horse s**t these days.

These rods are built with Samurai blanks, Fuji guide trains, ALPS reel seats and gimbals and custom made EVA grips. Good luck to all anglers in the comp and hopefully the wind gods smile on the comp :)

SOLTYS Stick

The first rod for the year is now finished.

I have been promising Mick for ages to build him an acid wrapped bottom bouncer and I finally ran out of excuses and got the job done. The PE 3/4 blank was chopped at 5'6" and built up using a combination of Fuji components that starts with the graphite gimbal and matching reel seat and a complimenting set of SIC guides and tip.

Mick is a Bulldogs nut and as such it was a no brainer that this rod reflects his passion for his team. The red white and blue club colours was used in every aspect of this rods design starting with the rear blue grip with "Dogs" colour inlays and hand shaped game foregrip with the same inlays. The colour scheme then continued through the binding of the guides and tip.

Looking forward to a fish with you at Onslow Mick and watching this girl do her thing - smash good fish :)

The Tim Tam

Geoffo and I have talked about building a tribute rod to Tamiya for a couple of years and it finally came to fruition. The rod had to be purple and pink, had be glittery and have a unicorn theme.

I was so stoked to have a build so bizarre and be able to use my creative skills. I did the rounds of a few local newsagency's and craft stores and ended up with some sexy purple glitter and a heap of different unicorn sticker books.

All the dream Fuji components were used in this build with an all SIC guide train, DPSH reel seat and matching gimbal, custom pink and purple grips and some extra bits of bling. Design wise each guide has been wrapped in different colours and I have used a variety of stickers applied through different stages of finishing.

For the butt wrap I started with a layer of purple thread and then applied 2 pac finish that I tinted with purple glitter. I then applied the various unicorn stickers at different stages of finishing. This gives a real depth of image. I included some personal messages from Geoff and the family and the job was done.

Its such a buzz to be able to bring joy to people through what you do.
