Welcome! Last year we added a page for shop news to keep people up to date on our latest efforts. See some pictures and read the latest shop news by clicking here! We now are offering the wonderful movie about Tonkin Cane and Bamboo Rodmaking, Trout Grass! We were proud to be featured in the Summer 2003 issue of the Art of Angling Journal!

We are very pleased to announce that we are featured in Ed Engle's book, Splitting Cane, Conversations with Bamboo Rodmakers. Read about it and reserve your copy here.

We have dedicated ourselves to the art of handcrafting split cane flyrods for the discriminating angler. We are full time rodmakers, not hobbyists. Our efforts are focused on making the best rod that we can, using only the finest available materials.

Our cane is chosen for maximum power fiber density, hand split, milled and hand planed to exacting tolerances. Tapers are designed to work well at all distances and reflect the demands of various angling situations from small streams to light salt water fishing.

Our intention is to craft an exquisite casting tool of heirloom quality that will provide you with years of honorable service and enjoyment. We offer three distinct rod series: our benchmark Signature Series, our economical Patriot Series, and from time to time offer a special Presentation Series rod.

In addition to our rod offerings we are proud to be agents for the finest in angling accessories. Hardy reels offer superior quality, balance and durability and are aesthetically pleasing on cane rods.  The reels of Ted Godfrey feature the classic aesthetics of the finest vintage reels and are a perfect partner on any cane rod...new or vintage. We also carry the outstanding craftsmanship of Bob Corsetti's Peerless Reels.  Marryat reels provide outstanding value and are also a great choice for both cane and graphite rods. We are also proud agents for the reels of M.Chozas. For those looking for the ultimate in the classic angling experience, we are also proud to be the agents of Terenzio Genuine Silk and Artificial Silk Flylines, as well as the best selling synthetic Sylk Lines by Cortland. Looking for the perfect accompanyment to a fine cane rod or a special gift for a treasured friend? Check out the beautiful landing nets by LDH. These nets akin to art, but made to be used. We are also the proud agents for the fine leatherwork of Arne Mason. Arne is the premier leatherworker in the angling genre. Need a box to put those treasured flies in? The flyboxes of Richard Wheatley have been the benchmark of quality for over 100 years! We are very fortunate to represent the exemplary creels and rodcases made by Karen and Darryl Arawjo.

We also are interested in purchasing or consigning Vintage cane rods. Check out our current listings or contact us if you have a rod available for sale or trade. Please follow the links below to find out about our various product lines.
