"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

oyster bamboo fly rod standards
*All of our models can be
customized or personalized to suit.
*Options such as length, line wt, number of
sections, cane color, grip shape, wrap colors, etc. can be customized
*Each rod is made from a single culm of genuine
Tonkin bamboo.
*All rods are hand split, hand planed, hand
engraved… 100% made in the USA.
*Traditional nickel silver reel seats and ferrules
*Elegant agate stone stripping guides
*Super fine silk thread
*Ultra flor grade Portuguese cork (no filler used)
*Powder coated aluminum tube and cloth rod bag
*Duplicate tip sections are made from the same
position, on the same culm as the original
*Oyster’s exclusive tapers result in a medium
progressive action rod which loads easily at short distances, but is stiff
enough in the butt to power out those longer casts.
