All of my rods are proprietary in that they do not have anyone else's hardware on them. Each one of them is started and completed by my hands only. All of my rods are built with a spiral node stagger and each rod originates from a single culm. I do not purchase wood spacer blanks, I find my own hardwood either from Hawaii or in the Northeast and rough cut dozens of them. I have them all stabilized before turning them. Each cork grip is turned for its intended rod and proportioned accordingly.

Custom Rods: Although I have my own line of rods that I tend to lean toward and constantly evolve, I do take custom orders and have a variety of tapers, weights, and lengths to choose from. Hardware varies from rod to rod as well as number of rod sections. I encourage customers to call me and chat about the type of fishing they wish to use the rod for as well as other personal preferences. I also have a selection of hollowbuilt rod tapers that I make. Musical instruments produce many kinds of sounds with great variability within a single species, the same holds true for bamboo fly rods.
