It seems that there are about 10,000 Anglers who won't be comfortable dealing with me because they have never met me or don't know who I am! Here's my Bio!

Location of BACKWOODS Master Rod Builders Shoppe in Wasaga Beach, West. Here's where you can pick up your Rod, have it repaired or replaced at your convenience. The Shoppe is also a Showroom, where you can consult with the Professional Sales Manager and conclude your purchase! Or simply do it all by phone in the comfort of your home! Daniel Sturges is Canada's only known Master Rod Designer along with Canada's Top Master Rod Builder Raymon Nugara. Together they form the most Professional Team of Rod Producers in Canada. 

​Above is a realistic variation of Custom Designed Fishing Rods that have been sold to our Customers. In fact all of the photos we use are Customers Rods. That's truly amazing! This year we are celebrating 25 Years in business by offering BACKWOODS Bass & Walleye Spinning & Casting Rods called the Challengers. I have sold six that will be featured in April as they are finished. Lately I have received Testimonials from a half a dozen happy customers complimenting the fact that BACKWOODS Rods are virtually indestructible! 
​The reason for longevity is simple, we feature the Best of Everything!
​

We have been a primary customer of Batson's since they opened 20 Years ago! Their Motto is "Built to Fish!". We use their RainShadow Rod Blanks exclusively! 
My background as an Angling Aficionado is extensive and it includes me owning and operating three Retail Stores over the years. Geared 4 Sports, Phat Bouyz Tackle and BACKWOODS Master Rod Builders Rod Shoppe. Since 1986 I have owned and operated BACKWOODS Professional Fishing Guide Services, from an Outpost Cabin in the Haliburton Highlands, Chartering Day Trips in Port Credit, Midland and Owen Sound. Started BACKWOODS Rods in 1996 as an E-Commerce Catalog Store! Twenty Five years later we are still going strong! 

In the last few years I managed to write Two Fishing Books and sell out of the first one. I then put them both on a PDF-File and gift them with the purchase of a BACKWOODS Rods. This new format allows me to revised and add pages which is over 500. Taking a shot at writing a Freshwater Fish Recipe Book that I'm near half way with it. It will include side dishes with Wine and Spirit choices. It's going to be well received as I have a couple of dozen spoken for when it's completed.

 FBefore landing a job with the Fire Dept. I was in retail management for ten years working all over Toronto and then for a couple of years in Quebec! Many of you may remember I was a Career Firefighter for 3 decades. Working shifts always allowed me to escape to the North as stress relief! Soon after I developed an interest in Tournament Bass Fishing! I won my First Tournament as a guest partner. That put the Hook in me! Also motivated me to buy a Bass Boat. The Princecraft Pro Tournament boat was 18 feet long with an Evinrude 150 Out board. It was all decked out  and I even had a Racing Prop, a Hot Foot Throttle and  two Lowrance Fish Finders. I use to tell people it was a virtual Rocket!   It would planed out 60+ MPH. 

Around that time I got hooked up and became a guest host on the Ultimate Fishing Show where I did four shows. Bass, Walleye, Brook Trout and a Musky Show! Lots of fun!
