Some lovely feedback on our custom bamboo fly rods.

Chris wow what a great rod, always wanted to own a piece of artwork and now I do. My 8ft #5 was used last weekend on the Anton and again two days later on the Itchen, super action and a real different feel to the carbon rods I fish with and great when you have a fish on.

So pleased that I have ordered a 7.6ft 4# which I will be able to use next season.

Great customer service and a pleasure dealing with someone who is so passionate about his art.
