More Info About Bamboo Rod Tapers

5/19/2013

 
In an attempt to make this website better, I've just added a page to describe some popular bamboo fly rod tapers that I've used in the past. Often when folks are looking around to find a rod maker they wonder what kind of tapers, or rod actions they offer. Well, I don't specialize in any types of rod actions or tapers. I pride myself on being a custom rod maker & making the rod the way you want it, instead of you having to choose from my selection of rod models. This is a totally different concept than what is prevalent in the fly fishing industry today, I know, but it's how I enjoy making fly rods - to your specifications.


Still, many folks want to know what kinds of rods I've had experience in making. That's a fair concern that I understand. When you hire a rod maker, you want to know that they actually have experience making the type of rod you want. So I've added a page where I list some of the more popular rods that clients have requested in the past. This will give you a feel for the types of rods I make most often.


I want to emphasis that you are in no way limited to the tapers listed on the page. We can come up with just about any rod action, in just about any length, & in just about any rod configuration that you want. Again, that's part of being a custom rod maker.


Listed on the page are 22 of my more popular rod tapers along with a brief description of the rod's action. Please know that these aren't descriptions of the finished rods - these are simply some comments about the action of the rod. How the rod is made, finished out, the components used on it, etc are all determined by you. This is NOT a list of rod models.


If you have any questions, or if you're looking for a rod in a particular type of action, length  etc please feel free to contact me to discuss rod tapers anytime. I'd love to hear from you & get your thoughts on the subject.
