BUILDING QUALITY RODS
BLANKS
I build custom fly rods on premium quality fiberglass blanks from the best brands. I offer also my own design fiberglass blanks.
I build also a few bamboo fly rods a year. The bamboo blanks I use are made by Ids Schukken he is a very skilled splitcane builder from Holland and has been building rods for 35 years. He has also been a reel maker for 30 years. All his products are unique and from incredible high quality and exceptional appearance.
CORK GRIPS
All the cork grips I glued and shape it on my lathe with a file and later on with sandpaper from 80 to 1200 to get the perfect grip.
I use NO cork filler.
The cork rings are top flor grade quality and bought direct from a manufacturer in Portugal.
REAL SEATS
Most of the hardware is design and turned by myself, for screw lock I use hardware from Lemke Concepts or Bellinger Genuine.
All the inserts are made in the shop with the finest and best quality wood.
GUIDES
The snake guides and tiptops I use are from Snake Brand, these are the best and finest.
The stripping guides I use are from Golden Witch, Joe Arguello and Mildrum.
WRAPPING
I am wrapping with silk from Kimono, Pearsall’s Gossamer and YLI all of theme are from premium quality.
Afterwords I finish the rod with epoxy or spar varnish.
ROD TUBE & SOCK
I design and sew the rod sock themselves for every rod, the rod tube comes in black or in aluminium.
