I only use high-quality
components to build a custom rod. There is no skimping on quality.
However, this does notmean that you will be breaking your bank account...on the contrary. I can show you a wide range of high-quality
components which range from extremely reasonably priced to top of the range. The choice after all, is yours.
From rod blank to finishing colour, and everything in between.
Give your rod an African flavour...with an indigenous wood reel seat insert. See below pics for more info.
(Scroll down for a look at different reel seat inserts and grips)
The components I use
are from highly reputable, well-established companies, that have been
in the rod-building industry
for many years. Most of them are OEM suppliers to all the big factory rod suppliers, and this means I have the option to
build your rod to exact factory specs. But there's no fun in that...is there? You would like your rod to stand out...Special reel
seat, your own insert and wood of choice, a better cork grip, your choice of single foot guides or snake guides, oversized
tips and stripping guides, unique wraps and finishes. And of course...maybe your name written on the rod...to give it that
final personalised touch.

So when you take delivery of
your
own, personalised, custom fly rod...you know you can fish it hard, with
confidence. You will know that it's been finished and built
with high quality components, and with the greatest care and attention to detail.
