No. I · Fishing on Order

Built to measure. From blank to diamonds.

What you decide

  • Blank: length, power, action and casting weight to suit your lures.
  • Guides: layout and models chosen for your reel and your mono or braid.
  • Handle: top-grade natural cork, EVA or carbon, shaped to your grip.
  • Reel seat: position and type set to fit your hand, not the other way round.
  • Thread wraps and decoration: Japanese silk thread, nylon, decorative metallic tipping.
  • Dedication: engraving or lettering: a name or a date. A rod as a gift makes an impression.
  • Build card: serial number, components and build date with every rod.
