Handcrafted for your lifetime...An heirloom for future generations
The fine line between bamboo fly rods and art just became even finer...
"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

available custom options.
