Building my own rods


As a craftsman which I am, I do like rodbuilding, have built about 30- 40 rods, like Hardy, Fisher, Powell, Winston, Loomis, Sage, C.F.Burkheimer, Greys of Alnwick, and others.

Flyfishing have so much!!!


To the right I am standing by the river Namsen with my C.F.Burkheimers: "590 Trout", "790 Saltwater", "890 Saltwater", and "990 Saltwater".
Each one with beautiful Struble reel seats, the 590 with nickel silver U8, and the saltwaters with U22, and selfmade inserts of titanium, buffalo and whaletooth. And of course the best of cork rings and Hopkins & Holloway rings.

My Burkheimers is my favourites, they are fantastic rods!!!!


Its lovely.....
