Bamboo Fly Rods
|
All of our rods are crafted from seasoned Tonkin bamboo and planed on an adjustable steel form. The standard rods are natural blonde in color and feature green wraps and bright chrome guides by Hopkins and Holloway or burgundy wraps and black chrome giudes. Cork handles are made on the rod from Flor and Flor Plus cork that has been hand selected and the reel seats are either by Struble, REC or Bellinger. Rods 7 foot 6 inches and shorter will have a wood insert and sliding ring and butt cap and 7 foot 6 inch and longer rods will have an uplocking or downlocking reel seat. The rods are finished with a satin gel urethane varnish. All come with a plaid cotton bag and an aluminum rod tube.
If you desire a specific taper and rod is not in inventory we will be glad to quote a price.

The rods are two-piece with either one or two tips. Single tip rods are $700.00 and two tip rods are $950.00. If you want a three piece rod the cost in additional $200.00. Flamed rods are also available if you so desire for an additional $50.00 as they are more difficult to plane.

Recently we have been experimenting with the use of hollow bamboo sleeves in place of nickel silver ferrules. I field tested a 7 foot 6 inch 4 weight rod over the summer catching at least 200 fish and the rod worked marvellously. Because of the extra work involved we will charge an extra $50.00 per tip to cover the extra effort to make the bamboo ferrule. The advantage is a measurable reduction in weight over the metal ferrules.
