The Steffen Brothers legacy duo

I recently finished this cool Steffen Brothers pair. These were the last blanks coming out of the Steffen shop in Arizona, in late 2020 according to their owner. Some of the most remarkable fiberglass rod designs ever made.

Simple, minimalist style builds with Garrison style reel seats and vintage Mildrum stripping guides. These went to Italy early this spring after a super long waiting time.

The Steffen legacy continues with Shane Gray of Graywolf rods taking over the blank production. 

With so many fiberglass blanks available today I'm always up to the challenge of building something new out there. Thanks for looking!

Hanak Superlight

This Superlight 299 is one of the lightest and touchiest, not too long euro-nymphing rods available and one of my personal favorites. If you fish more technical or smaller streams with light nymphing setups this rod is golden. The finished rod weighted right around 65-67grams. Beautiful golden brown-olive finished blank appointed in a very subdued color scheme with gold clear silk wraps. Slim snub-nose grip with reversed reel seat for balance and a micro fighting butt. Clear, red banded agate stripping guide, ultralight Recoil guides and one snake guide to minimise tangling. Proprietary, custom made aluminum rod tube. More of these could be available on request later in the summer. Just drop an email. Thanks for looking!

NOS Steffen Brothers

This is a NOS Steffen Brothers 7'3' 3/4wt. build, a legendary model from the brothers in Arizona, rolled right before they sold the company. Minimalist build, simple dark burgundy wraps with slick finish and bright hardware. Small Ritz style grip and Garrison cork reel seat.

Sage One 790

The "Darth Vader"of fly rods. The One series from the Jerry Siem era with Konnetic technology (2012) graphite were revolutionary...

"The ONE rod is the flagship offering from Sage that may redefine the “all-around” rod category, where precision casting accuracy is needed over a wide range of conditions. Hand crafted from our Konnetic Technology three long years in the making, the ONE rod is a game changer. Your game. Its fast action incorporates a built in sweet spot, making the ONE rod the ideal choice for experienced and aspiring casters alike."

Sage blanks are becoming scarce and I am extremely happy to have finished this clean, "lean and mean", sleek looking rod. Built for a friend in Washington, whom I fished with this fall, as a present for his father. I could not think of a better present for a fly-fisherman that lives one hour from the Sage factory. 

This is #perfectionflyrod and the rod-of-a-lifetime. Thanks for looking & Happy New Year everyone!

Swift Epic 480G

One of the most talked about rod from Swift lately. The newer graphene composite is very strong yet very light. Appointed in a modern-classic style this rod is a clean, sexy, stealthy little beast. Thanks for looking!
