First and foremost - I want you to love your rod. I’ll customize a rod to fit where, and how you fish. If you want something specifically for dry fly fishing, we can do that. If you want something that can turn over a nymph rig, we can do that too. If you want a boat rod for your skiff we can definitely do that.

Streamline the process for ordering your custom bamboo rod with this Pre-Purchase Plan:

1. Initiate Contact: Reach out via message, email, text, or call to discuss your preferences and specifications.

2. Taper Selection: I provide options for the rod taper, tailoring its performance to your needs. Together, we decide on the best fit.

3. Aesthetics Discussion: Explore the rod's aesthetics – engraving, rattan grip, flamed or blonde blank, colors, and styles. Tailor it to your unique preferences.

4. Deposit and Serial Number: Secure your order with a deposit. Upon payment, a unique serial number is assigned, and I procure specialized components for your project.

5. Progress Updates: Stay in the loop! I regularly update you on the rod's progress, offering visual insights with optional photos as it takes shape.

6. Final Payment: Upon the agreed date, complete the payment for the remaining balance. Your completed rod, carefully packaged in its tube, is ready to ship.

7. Fisherman's Delight: Receive your custom rod and embark on your fishing adventures. Share your success – catch some fish, and feel free to send me pictures!
