Orvis, is among the first companies which started making bamboo fly fishing rods and although it has now grown in a much larger choice it still makes among the best bamboo rods in the world. Yes, all by hand and slowly...
Used and Demo rods
A the moment we also have 3 used/demo cane rods for sale made by
the Italian rodmaker Walter
Rumi. Walter has been making cane rods for over 27 years and is among
the first generation of Italian modern rodmakers.
Brescia is famous for its gun industry - the Beretta rifles and pistols are
made here - and also for its hand engraving artisans - the Italian bulino masterpieces
are carried out here and the nearby Brescia's Val Trompia valley.
The three rods have been used only lightly for demo purposes and so they come
at a very interesting bargain price.
A real unique chance to buy a "tonkin" rod.
The rods have these specifications:
6'6'' # 4, 2 pieces, nickel-silver ferrule
7'2'' # 4, 2 pieces, nickel-silver ferrule
7'2'' # 3, 2 pieces, bamboo ferrule
IMPORTANT NOTE: the pictures here are NOT the actual rods but very close equivalent.
All pictures on this page are of Walter rods. Pictures are of course available
on request.
