Our mission is simple… to imagine, create, and distribute unique, well-built fly fishing rods that real people can afford. We craft our rods in hopes they inspire a revival… a return to the pure and simple spirit of adventure… moments that stir the soul. Our distinctive style is certainly derived from the classics; from our custom reel seats turned from strikingly grained burl woods, to our hand turned cork grips, and high performance rod blanks, every one of our rods whispers the beginning of a unique story - one that's bound to be epic. Imagine a rod that looks like nothing you've never seen on the rack at your local fly shop. Now imagine that rod having some of the best action and sensitivity you've ever felt, even in upscale rod brands. Now imagine anodized copper hardware from reel seat to tip, a vintage color scheme, and exquisite Burl wood double locking reel seats. Finally, imagine being able to actually afford this rod without having to pull out a second mortgage on your home.
