TOP RODS - 2017 The gear to get started MATT FEATHERLY Cousins Rods are making a good impact in the NW fishing market. Cousins Tackle have a very large selection of rods from bass, walleye, trout, steelhead and salmon. These rods are high quality fishing gear with a life-time warranty to back them up. The carbon fiber handles are bulletproof, I prefer carbon fiber handles, because cork handle rods tend to get beat up more from grabbing them out of the rod holder. If you’re looking for a high end fishing rod look no further, choose a Cousins Rod.
