I make bamboo rods one at a time starting with a raw culm and finishing with a fine fishing rod. I have built my own specialized machinery to assist in some of the processes of making rods but the
majority of the work is done with hand tools. I am only set up to make hexagonal (six sided) rods at this time. I have recently learned some new construction methods which include; hollow
building, 12 strip mortised butts, and even bamboo ferrules.
Although I have developed some special tapers that I believe are great casting rods, I also have over 500 classic tapers to choose from to make a rod for you. I make rods from 1 wt. to 9 wt. in
lengths from 5 to 9 1/2 ft. and in 1, 2, 3, and even 4 piece configurations. Instead of reproducing classic rods to exact standards, I specialize in making true custom rods that meet the
needs of my customers.
