Rods ready to go fishing.

Trout rods made of the best Tonkin cane available, planed to exacting tolerances of proven tapers,  finished with
high quality hardware components, 6/0 silk thread, and 4 coats of spar varnish.

You can expect to get a single tip rod for under $700.00 and a two tip for less than $800.00.  If you have some
special desires the cost may go up a little.  Give me a call and we can discuss what you want and put a price on
it.   

I make rods for trout fishing and have settled on four two piece tapers to offer.  Two Paul young, one
Winston, and one undocumented taper I call number three (it was the third rod I made) in 3, 4, and 5 weight
in  6 to 8 foot lengths.  The Paul Young tapers are the 6 foot three inch Midge 4 weight, and the 8 foot para
15 five weight.  The number 3 is a 7 foot 6 inch 5 weight and the Winston taper is the 6 foot  #6032 three
weight.   The Paul Young and Winston tapers make excellent rods.  Their pedigrees speak for them.   The
number three has proven to be a very well received rod.  It is fast, responsive and has a lot of backbone
making it a very good all around rod.  If you can have only 1 cane rod this may be a good one to look into  

All rods come with ferrule plug, sock, and tube.

If you think one of these rods may be for you give me a call or e-mail and we can discuss it, or just talk
about rod making.   If it turns out these rods are not what you are looking for I can tell you about some rod
makers who may have the answer for you

I want you to have a rod you can use as long as you want to (until you die) and then pass along for some
one else to fish with.  With proper use and care, a cane rod will last a long time.  To that end - if the rod
breaks during normal use it will be repaired or replaced cost of material, depending on the circumstances.   
You pay to ship it to me, I pay to ship it back and I work on it as fast as I can and do a good job.  

If you break the rod in a car door or chasing off a bear with it, we will figure out a fair cost for the repair or
replacement.  If you buy one of my rods I feel obliged to give you a fair deal on repairs.  I will not charge half
the cost of a rod to replace a tip section.

Normal use is defined as angling for fish of appropriate size and species for a rod of the size and weight in
question.   Steel head or Carp fishing with a 3,4, or 5 weight rod is, in my mind, not appropriate.   I reckon I
will have to take your word here and hope if I price these fairly and deal honestly with you - you will treat
me as fairly as I do you.
