Centerpin and a variety of different rods for fishing floats have gotten very popular in the MI and the Great Lakes region. I do sell a number of these rods and mostly building them as custom rods. We do stock the Echo Centerpin 13′ and its an excellent steelhead rod. I have have used this rod on the Au Sable with a spinning and centerpin reel – really like it. I do have one for a guide rod and if your interested in purchase can sure take it down to the river to fish it. To purchase online:

Most of the centerpin rods I sell are custom rods that I build. I got some designs that i think work ideally but also use any components that the customer wants. At times I do get rods done without a buyer and will be listing them in this section. Can be purchased online and will ship right out or you can pick them up. Currently I just have two custom float rod finished and for sale:
