A couple of Splitcane Rods for sale

I make my rods with my own hands. I do not use any band saws or electronic planers. Every strip and section of the blank is refined respecting the nature of each individual bamboo pole.

1.   Konkurranse E 8' 6"  7#   Original model Asbjørn Hørgård

Originally designed for tournament casting, but perfectly suitable for light salmon and heavy trout fishing too. Taper is presented in publication by Wolfram Schott, "European Rod Tapers" rod no: 118854.

Original model is  standard 2 piece and equipped with ferrule.  This rod I altered a little to suite 3-piece and joint scarf construction. Original is also claimed to be class 8# rod, but I prefer it rather to be 7#, will cast any line from 5# competition lines to 8# shooting heads. Smooth and very powerfull casting action. Definately will not roll-cast !

reel seat, pac bay standard UL5, with curly birchwood "visa" insert
British 60's style snakes, agate stripper
