Every bespoke Oyster rod is crafted with an eye to matching flawless performance with museum-quality aesthetics. The company's founder, Bill Oyster, is the only full-time bamboo fly-rod maker we could find who hand-engraves his rods' hardware to custom specifications.
Based in Blue Ridge, Ga., Oyster crafts each rod from a single stalk of Tonkin bamboo, silk thread and Portuguese cork.
