On this page you can view information about the components that go into each of my rods. As I discover new techniques, options and materials, they will be added onto this page. Make sure you click on any of the photos on this page to see the full enlarged versions. Enjoy!

-My goal is to make every rod unique in every way; fantastic to cast, fish and enjoy for the rest of your life. To that end, I use only the best materials in order to produce only the finest rods.

-The heart and soul of any bamboo rod is the blank. Each blank is made to a specific taper, giving each rod a unique personality and feel. I start with my supply of pre-embargo bamboo.



-When it comes to tapers, Dickerson and Powell are hard to beat. All the tapers I use are subtle variations of these classic tapers.

-The ferrules I use are nickel-silver super swiss.



-The agate stripping guide and snake guides are top of the line, and all of my rods come with a ring hook-keeper.



-I lathe each grip of each rod to custom specification, that way, you get a rod that is truly made to fit your grip.



-Each rod has nickel-silver reel seat hardware and you will find either Bellenger spacers or spacers I have made myself out of different beautiful hardwoods.



-My rods come in either browntone or blonde colors, hollow or solid, depending on customer preference.

-The wraps are the finest silk thread, then finished with strong flexible urethane.



-My unique finishing technique is second to none. Each rod goes though several dipping processes in order to get a final coat which is almost completely free of imperfections.
