Castaway rods and kistler rods are father and son related companies.

The company has a proprietary, secret way of making the blanks and the taper. However, they give us a glimpse on how they make a rod (this is not really a secret because anybody can learn it in a rodbuilding forum)

Here is how they explain the process (highlights are mine):

• We coat every rod with a triple coat of UV protected finish for preventative break down.
• We coat behind every guide for a stronger hold in keeping the guides straight and from corrosion getting behind the thread.
• Every rod is spined so the blank will not twist at the tip, allowing each hook set to have the power and response expected when fishing for that trophy.
• Each blank is put through a rigorous flex test inspection to ensure there are no visible defects.
• Following the build process each CastAway rod is put through a final inspection to provide the angler with a tool that will enhance each fishing experience.

Moreover, here is their subdisvion according to rod action (extra fast, fast, moderate, slow) and rod power (light, medium, heavy)

Power 1 Ultra-light
Power 2 Light
power 3 Medium-Light
Power 4 Medium
Power 5 Medium-heavy
Power 6 Heavy
Power 7 Ultra-heavy
