NBD Steps Their Game Up

Check it, Nature Boy Designs founder, Keith Westra and I have emailed back and forth a bit since I last talked about NBD back in November. He just notified me the other day that he had put some new "bomb proof" rod tube designs online so I headed over to the site to check them out and damn, legit. The designs are custom painted by Keith himself and come in at $200. Not bad for a custom, indestructible rod tube if you ask me. I have yet to try out his lanyard but it should be in the mail soon. I just found out that he also makes the lanyards based on your brand of waders, true custom. Check out the new rod tube designs, "Nothing But Natural" and "RedBellied Snake", below:



In addition to the new tubes, NBD is also doing some custom fly orders now too. Here's what they say on their site about the custom flies:

"Can’t find anymore of that one perfect bug left in your Simms hat?  Have a killer idea, but don’t have the time or will to tie it!
NBD to the rescue!  We are proud to have Karl Kirbus on board to meet your needs.  I’ve worked with Karl for years and he is one of the best tiers around.  From spinning killer bass bugs, traditional steelie flies, or just some wacked out Zebra Midges let Karl dial you in!"
  • Email us a photo or description of the pattern
  • We will tie up an example, photo it and email you back
  • No minimums

* Custom Tied mouse pattern for John Jenkin’s Kamchatka trip
Please email Keith for pricing or to place an order.

Another addition to the NBD lineup is the "California Native" Tee that became available on January 9th. 

They carry most sizes and it comes in at $25.00. Heres the logo and design...




Keith has his stuff together and is really making some great products. Head over to NBD and check out what he's doing. They have some new products coming out in the near future including the NBD "Para Perros" Dog Collar (seen below), so bookmark his site and check it often, you won't regret it:




And I'm sure some more custom colors/styles based on some recent shots of custom orders on the NBD Facebook page...




You can check out NBD on Facebook or email Keith for more info.

Boom...Morgan
