Doug Kidd moved to Florida when he was very young and has adopted the native passion for fishing! Doug has been fishing since he can remember being able to walk. Countless trips to the Florida Keys, the Dry Tortugas, the South East Atlantic, and in various locations around the Florida Gulf Coast have only fueled Doug’s passion for wanting to create an array of fishing rods for all styles of fish slaying.
Doug has been building custom fishing rods since he was 10 years old. He studied under the watchful eye of Bill Whitson where his talent grew and has since flourished into what is now, 27 years later, DK Custom Fishing Rods. During those years Doug has managed to marry his love for the waters with his passion for rod building to create tailored rods that meet each and every one of his customer's needs.
