Nathan developed a passion for the great outdoors at a very young age. He spent most of his childhood fishing and hunting with his father Kerry. As he grew, his love for fishing grew as well. He began tying flies, making jigs, and anything he could to sharpen his fishing knowledge and skills.

In 2001, he began the art of building fishing rods as a hobby. Often times, making rods for a fishing trip or weekend at the cabin. Nate’s enjoyment for rod building grew and he started making rods for friends, family, and fishing buddies.
Later he began building rods during the summers, throughout college, and any spare moment while not on the water fishing himself.

Nate has sold hundreds of rods throughout the U.S.  Designing a custom fishing rod from scratch, he uses his knowledge in fishing to develop hand built fishing rods, designed to fit the specific needs of any angler. Each of Nathan's rods are one of a kind, having custom designed handles, reel seats, decorative wraps, hook keepers, and other high quality components that develop a finished product that will appeal to any fisherperson no matter their skill level.

In addition to his fishing rods, Nate also fishes competively in tournaments, guides, and fishes all over the U.S. each year. He has also appeared on a nationally televised fishing show at the age of 13. He often spends as much time as possible fishing and hunting with father, Kerry, in their expeditions of which are captured here on MayerOutdoors.com
