I just received my 2009 catalog from my primary supplier of rodbuilding components, and found some exciting additions to their offering. Primary among those is the addition of three well-respected fly rod and blank manufacturers. I am happy to tell you that I can now source blanks from Orvis, R.L. Winston, and Thomas & Thomas. Add these fine components to the existing list of St. Croix, G. Loomis, Sage, and Temple Fork Outfitters, as well as American Tackle’s blanks, and more.
Also new for 2009 is the availability of some custom components to feed your artistic side, such as snake skin, marbling kits, and even colored anodized aluminum winding checks! Options for the creative builder are growing wider all the time.
If you have interest in a custom rod, or a Build Your Own Rod Class, email me and we can discuss your needs and wants.
