Splitcane - more than just a rod
In my rods I try to gather all
the experience and knowledge that generations of rod builders
have found in their search for the optimal performance, both in
materials and designs. During my 26 years as a rodmaker, I have
reached the insight that a splitcane rod is so much more than
just a nice piece of fishing equipment - It represents our fly
fishing heritage, devotion to craftmanship, and the beauty of
design. These values are shared by many splitcane rodmakers
around the world and contributes to, that the passion for split
bamboo will be carried on to future generations.
The fact that you can build a
onehanded splitcane rod up to a length of 8'6" and two handed
rods up to about 13', that handles the fish better then any rod
made out of artificial materials, will indeed show that bamboo
are an excellent rodbuilding material. That a splitcane rod in
addition also are the most beautiful piece of fishing equipment
that man can own, comes as a pleasant bonus.
