ABOUT US


Our Custom-Made Gifts, Awards, & Trophies Are :

  • Hunting & Fishing Trophies & Awards Like You’ve Never Seen Before!
  • Personalized Hunting & Fishing Recognition Gifts, Awards, & Trophies!
  • Individually-Made Master Angler & Master Hunter Awards!

LlindeX is a new and rapidly growing, company located in Golden, Colorado . We are very proud of our product line which we have specifically designed for discerning fishermen and hunters. Ed, our founder, loves the Outdoors and has spent many hours along the banks of streams, on the lake, and in the woods pursuing a variety of fish and game animals. After retiring from a major brewery somewhere near Golden, his dream of starting his own business could become a reality.

Ed toyed with the idea of opening a micro brewery. But he’d spent many years making beer, and he really didn’t want to continue doing the same thing forever. He thought about opening a Native American Art gallery in appreciation of his ancestors. The possibilities were endless and daunting. With so many options available, Ed just couldn’t make up his mind. So, he decided to spend some time fishing and a bit of time hunting in Colorado , Wyoming , and Alaska . (Not enough, , ,Just a Bit.)

It’s while Hunting & Fishing that the idea came & the plan began to form:

Today’s hunters & fishermen frequently take photos of the animals they harvest or the fish they catch. However, these photos usually end-up catalogued away in a drawer or album…just Spirit Memories gathering dust in the dark.

Ed believes memories of such powerful interactions of man and animal should not grow silent. It is important for us to frequently recall the dependencies of man and animal. It benefits Man to often recall the awe inspiring beauty of both animal & wilderness. It is important for us to value our skills as a hunter & fisherman, and to honor the beauty & instincts of our prey. He thought why not take those field or streamside photos and incorporate them into useful products that can be seen on a daily basis?

Ed reasoned that by combining his love of art with his passion for Fishing and Hunting, he could develop a line of products so unique and so useful that every person who loves fishing & hunting would want to own one!

Rack-N-Rod’s product line, would be unique. He would produce Custom-Made Hunting & Fishing Products suitable as gifts, awards, or trophies in any Sportsman’s Recognition Setting,Master Angler Program, or Master Hunter Program. The animal or fish depicted on the products would be an artistic re-creation based upon the actual field or streamside photo provided by a hunter or angler. They would be truly Personalized Gifts, Awards, & Trophies any fisherman or hunter would cherish.

Rack-N-Rod’sGifts, Awards, and Trophies would be durable, made with high quality materials, and designed to be used as well as displayed. Because Ed believes that record-setting animals & fish come only once-in-a-lifetime, but many of our trips produce memories, fish, and game animals worthy of special remembrance, each Rack-N-Rod product would be affordably priced.

By producing these products one-at-a-time, Rack-N-Rod’s Custom-Made & Personalized Gifts, Awards, & Trophies for fishermen & hunters would be:

A line of Fishing Trophies, Hunting Trophies, Master Angler Awards, & Master Hunter Awards that truly capture the essence of each individual sportsman’s animal, fish, or bird.

A line of Fishing Trophies, Hunting Trophies, Master Angler Awards, & Master Hunter Awards that are Affordable :

In developing each of our products, Ed reminds us to maintain Quality Foremost, but never forget:

  • The cost of every gift, award, & trophy has to be reasonable.
  • The cost of each award & trophy must allow the Hunting & Fishing Public to use it everyday.
  • We must maintain a cost that allows hunters & fishermen to commemorate all their special hunting & fishing moments, not just the “Once in a Lifetime Trophy” fish or animal.
  • We must maintain a cost which allows our customer to commemorate that first Fish, Deer, Elk, Antelope, Goose, or Turkey taken by a daughter, son, or grandchild. (It probably isn’t the largest animal or fish to be taken in a lifetime, but every “First One” means so much.)
  • The cost of each gift, award, & trophy must be reasonable enough to allow it to be presented to deserving recipients in any Master Angler Program or Master Hunter Program.

The decisions Ed made that day, high in the Rockies above Golden, Colorado, led to several long years being spent developing the artwork & production methods we use, and finding reliable suppliers of quality products and raw materials.

The methods he developed now allow us to cost effectively produce our unique line of outstanding quality products:

  • Gifts, Trophies, and Awards for those who love Hunting & Fishing.

The artwork presented on each of our products is truly reflective of an individual sportsman’s prize!
