Happy New year! We hope you and your loved ones had a happy and memorable 2015 and are ready for a prosperous 2016.

After our visit to North America for the holidays we’re back in the shop to complete the rod projects that were not on the Christmas deadline list, and to get our 2016 rod building and fly tying classes scheduled. We picked up another Renzetti Traveler Vise during our time abroad and we want to get it turning as soon as possible. So, please join us!

We are expecting to have all our Fuji spinning rod building components delivered by the end of January 2016, which are Fuji’s modern guides and reel seats. We already have a good selection of trout spinning rod blanks available from 6.5 to 7 foot. Andes brand blanks are available in several solid colors like metallic red, green, and copper; and two tone colors copper/ivory, and metallic red/blue.

Like highly praised fly rods, custom spinning rods can also have a decorative reel seat insert to make them more attractive and unique. We’ve used different styles of cork as reel seat inserts in the past but we’re making available two other materials- native Chilean woods and stylized acrylic.
