Custom Rods

single-hand Rods

I currently have two single hand tapers available. both of these rods are hollowed, light weight and medium-fast in action. both were tweaked and tested throughout the rugged back country of Vancouver island.

The first, a 7’ 7’’ 4/5 weight rod, is modelled after a classic rod that i’ve really enjoyed. this rod taper was tweaked to accompany further casting distance and line control, all while keeping a compact length. perfect for a small mountain stream or for the wonderful pockets of water we pay homage to here on Vancouver island.

The second, a 8’ 5/6 that has become a spectacular all around trout rod. this taper is great for handling larger flies while maintaining a soft approach and remaining light and smooth in hand.

Any and all classic rod builds requested are much obliged. I am always eager to learn more about each design that has allowed the modern builder to achieve what they can today.

All Single-hand rods are custom ordered. All rods come with a custom canvas rod sock and aluminum travel tube, respectfully.

pricing:

single hand rod (1 tip) - $1000.00

single hand rod (2 tip) $1200.00

Two-Handed Rods

New to the line up this season is two different two-handed rods. The first rod stands at 11’ 8” (7w) and has been really enjoyable to cast with modern (short head) scandi lines. this taper has also been tested with several skagit heads with a slightly heavier grain weight and has been just as exciting to cast. I have two separate versions of the tip section for this taper to accompany various applications.

the newest of the two is a 5/6 weight 11’ 2”. perfect for dry fly fishing small coastal streams in the summer and fall, this rod has been really exciting to work on.

more to come…
