Finely crafted bamboo fly rods evoke a feeling of artistry, quality craftsmanship, and tradition. Casting one takes you to a whole new experience level. My goal in building bamboo rods is to create the best looking and finest castings rods I can. I also want to provide you with a fine fly fishing instrument that is constructed of the highest quality materials and components available. The look and appearance that I strive for in my rods can be described as subdued elegance.
I spend upwards of 75 hours building each rod, and I cut no corners along the way. I’m am intent on superior quality, precision, and attention to detail in my building process. The styles and tapers I use are modeled after the master rod designers. I use the highest quality Tonkin bamboo, reel seat hardware, ferrules, guides, and fine silk thread for wraps that are available. I hand select and turn all wood reel seats on my rods, making sure that the grains of the woods blend well with the lines of the bamboo and the overall appearance of the rod. I finish off all my rods with many coats of high gloss polyurethane finish that will last a lifetime.
My traditional offering of rods is not extensive, but it includes several that I have confidence with and that I feel can meet your desires for rod action and feel. I'm also very open to talking with you about additional rod styles, tapers, and actions.
