"Just thought I would drop a line. I was really able to put the rod through its paces today. I threw everything from 4x streamers to 18x BWOs. It handled everything beautifully. I was able to roll cast 50 to 60 feet with absolute ease, and best of all, it catches fish. The feel of a fish in the end of that rod is exhilarating."

Pricing policies:
All rods add $40 for shipping & insurance inside the US lower 48 states. All other locations please contact me for shipping costs.
Payment in U.S. currency only by personal check, money order, or credit card (via Paypal). A non-refundable payment of half the total sale puts your rod order onto the production list. The remainder will be due upon completion of the rod. You have 30 days from the rod completion date to pay the remaining balance or the sale will be void & the down payment forfeited. The rod will ship when your payment clears. Because of all the time consuming & fine detailed hand-work it takes to make your fly rod, I will give you an approximate time-frame for me to make the rod after I receive your first payment, typically 4 to 12 months, depending on the rod. When compared to other rod maker's waiting time that can literally be years, this is one of the shortest waiting periods you'll find for a hand made custom fly rod. I will keep you updated periodically as the rod progresses. When the rod arrives to you, you have 5 days to inspect it. If you're not satisfied for any reason you can return the rod to me (at your cost) in the same condition you received it for a full refund (including your down payment) or contact me for further options. (all shipping charges are not refundable)
I reserve the right to change any & all prices, materials, specifications, designs, & rod offerings at any time without notice.
All correspondence with my clients are confidential. All information regarding orders, business transactions, contact information including your name, address, email, phone, etc will never be shared with another party without your permission.
