Build like a professional, using top quality components

“After 20 years of Rodbuilding experience, I got the chance to know and test the features a good quality component should have; in order to make beautiful and durable Fly Fishing Rods you need beautiful but also functional and durable components. So I decided to offer a fine selection of Rodbuilding Components. Herafter are listed some of them.”

 

Birch Bark: in my opinion one of the most beautiful material for making rod grips and occasionally i’ve used it also for the reel seat insert. No doubt it’s a tricky material to work with, but the result it’s always a joy for the eye. In the On Line Shop you’ll find packs of 100 pieces each of selected and cleaned Birch Bark; the single pieces are  cutted with a dimension of 1×1 squared inches each. With a pack of 100 pieces you can make an 8 inches grip.

Reel seat Hardware: after many years i da been buying Reel seat hardware available on the market, i decided to start to machine them by myself.  The hardware are Precision-machined from  solid bars of Brass or Nickel Silver. The model is a downlocking slide band and it’s a recall to the Classic  Catskill HLL Model; they are recommended for #3-5 line weight rods.  Dimensions: 

Diameter 0.650 

Length: 3.420  

Butt Cap I.D. 0.650 

Slide Band I.D. 0.665

 

 

 

Wood Blanks: this is my new addition. Working with wood it’s one of my long time passion. In the On Line Shop you’ll find a selection of national or exotic woods, stabilized here in my Lab. They have been selected, cutted and treated to be very exclusive reel seat wood insert. Enjoy!  

Blanks

As I do with my fly rods, the blank i offer on request, are totally handplaned . The basic taper selection will cover a lenghts range between 6' and 9', in 2 or 3 pieces with 2 tips; the range of line weights will be from #2 to #5. The idea is to offer ny bamboo blanks especially to professional rodbuilders.
