I also rebuild and refinish split cane. If you have an old delaminated rod or rods, broken sections and or any other damage to a split cane rod, contact me for a quote. I also build UL rods on mid to higher end reclaimed split cane. The UL cane rods I sell are built with mid sections and tip sections, typically on 6' to 7' two piece rods. 7'

This was originally a 7' 2 piece. This blank was stripped down completely. (Very carefully)
The blank was refinished and then the new seat, grip and ferrules were installed.,
This turned out to be a beautiful rod
Black anodized aluminum seat, black snakes + tip top, Fuji stripping guide, Flor extra in house cigar grip.
Size 100 Japanese silk wraps.
Black Struble winding check

We had the opportunity and pleasure to visiting 3 of the Nervous Waters - A Higher Form Of Fishing lodges in Argentina, first was Delta Eco Lodge , second was Pira Lodge and last but not least Karandá Lodge at the end of 2025 and it was an amazing trip, amazing experience and a fantastic time. If you've got Dorado on your bucket list and you want first class service, contact me and I can help arrange a trip that will suit your needs and blow your expectations out of the water.
6 stars !!
