"During several decades of avid fly-fishing, Rosalynn and I have accumulated a wide range of rods, ranging from those for two-weight to 10-weight lines.
They include those made of graphite, boron, and bamboo.
It is obvious to me that this Oyster rod will be my favorite..."

- former U.S. President Jimmy Carter

7’ 6” 4wt



For some angling situations, less is more. Light in the hand and graceful in its presentation, this little rod is pinpoint accurate at close range. When the streams are small but the fish are demanding, it’s a great companion.



7’ 9” 4wt



A great midsize rod, it’s short enough for those smaller streams but long enough to reach out further when you need it. If you love small to midsize waters, dry flies, and light rods, this is the model for you companion.



8’ 4wt



When the fish require a delicate presentation, but the waters require longer casts, this length and line weight are a winning combination. The tip is delicate for close range casts while the butt section has the power to deliver when pressed into action.



7’ 9” 5wt




This is a wonderfully crisp and competent rod for midsize applications. It still feels like a small rod, but can deliver in a big way for most all medium sized waters -

a local favorite.

. ​



8’ 5wt



This is the classic size trout rod for medium sized waters. The fine tip and moderate butt section make it a wonderful choice for the dry fly enthusiast.




8’ 6wt



This is a wonderfully versatile rod with a fine tip, and powerful butt section. It’s a great choice for rivers and lakes requiring a rod that can deliver powerful casts but still protect fine tippets.


8’ 7wt



If big rivers and big trout are on the menu, this is the rod you’ll need. Wether you’re throwing hopper / dropper rigs from a drift boat, or swinging streamers on a sinking line, this rod has got you covered.



8’ 9wt



The ultimate inshore saltwater taper, this is the model that re-ignited the concept of saltwater fishing with bamboo. From bonefish, to redfish, or baby tarpon this is the must-have model for the shallow water enthusiast.



8’ 12wt



This is the ultimate rod for the ultimate fly fishing quarry. Big tarpon on the flats might be the most exciting challenge the fly angler can tackle. If bamboo is your thing, THIS is the rod you’ll want.
