Customization Option
CHAOS Rods are built one at time in our Florida shop. For that reason, we can customize your rods to meet your needs. We can alter the length of rods or grips to your preference, and change guides and components as requested. We can also personalize the appearance of your rod to match an existing set, add your initials or boat name, or completely customize the rod color, wrap, and even add an image of the target species on the rod. Some options are available online, but if you don't see exactly what you want call us at 877-337-9591 and we'll gladly accommodate your requests.

Field Report
Had to come back for more
As soon as I got my first CHAOS ECL out on the water, I had to get more! Ended up with four total and will definitely be coming back for more! The customer service was amazing and they had the patience to answer all of my questions and give me the best options for my budget.

Before you buy
Frequently asked questions.
Still unsure? Call +1-877-337-9591. You'll talk to a builder, not a sales rep.
-
What specific reel sizes pair best with the ECL Classic Series?
The best reel pairing depends on the rod class; the light 15-30 model pairs well with 12 to 20 class reels, the versatile 30-50 model goes best with 20/25/30 class reels, and the heavy-duty 50-100 powerhouse is built to team up with 30 LRSA or 50W reels. If you need help choosing the right reel for your setup, call us at (954) 876-1631!
-
What is the practical advantage of the 12" Black Slick Butt over an EVA foam grip?
When a heavy fish strikes while trolling, an EVA foam grip can bind up and get stuck inside the rod holder tube. The hard composite material of the 12-inch Slick Butt minimizes surface friction, allowing you to slide the rod out of the holder seamlessly even under maximum line tension.
-
Are the Fuji Turbo Guides safe to use with heavy braided fishing lines?
Yes. The heavy-duty Fuji Turbo frames are wrapped securely onto the blank to resist frame twisting. Their internal ring inserts are highly polished and diamond-graded to dissipate intense friction heat, preventing braided lines from digging into or wearing down the guides during blistering, long-distance runs.
-
What kind of warranty covers the ECL Classic Series?
Because the ECL Classic is built on a solid fiberglass blank, it is backed by the CHAOS Fishing Lifetime Warranty against factory defects in materials or assembly.
-
Can I order this rod with a custom wrap or color?
Yes. CHAOS rods are built to order. Standard colors and wrap patterns are listed on the variant selector; if you want something not shown, email customerservice@chaosfishing.com with your request and the shop foreman will work with you on a custom build.
-
What is the lead time on a new build?
Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks from order to ship. Custom wraps and finishes add 1-2 weeks. Current shop turnaround is posted on our homepage during build season.
