Custom, handcrafted, progressive action 7'6" 5wt bamboo fly rod.

The bamboo fly rod's reputation precedes itself. It is a beautiful, versatile fishing instrument that carries with it a sense of nostalgia. Walking up to the river with a bamboo rod in hand brings to mind an image of our ancestors; soaking grass to fill their creel baskets and casting dry flies on silk lines to wild trout. But that only warms the heart and it is often overlooked that the bamboo fly rod is a great, modern, versatile tool. It is true that it has its faults. It's not the best tool for when the wind is gusting at 30 mph or for reaching a target 80 ft away, but when the weather is favorable and the water is clear and like glass, you'll want the delicate presentation delivered by bamboo to hunt your mark. The extra mass in a bamboo fly rod will feel a little heavier in hand than fiberglass or carbon fiber at first but you'll soon find that it aides in casting, allowing the rod to load through your cast as smooth as silk, delivering the line as effortless as instinct, and ultimately laying the fly down with an unprecedented delicacy. Keep your bamboo rod packed away for those special days when you REALLY want to be on the water, and the fish know it.

Handmade leather reel case.

Double Haul Leatherworks is a one man shop. I take pride in the fact that I create every piece myself entirely by hand. I use no machinery whatsoever. The term "hand made" is used very loosely these days, and many businesses use sewing machines, rivets, laser cutters, etc. I do things the old inefficient way using knives, awls, needle and thread, etc. I mold and burnish my pieces by hand and have plenty of callouses to show for it!

I started my business out of necessity. I wanted reel covers for my favorite reels that I could use while on the rod, but could not find a product that was not made of neoprene. I had to make it myself. I found that other anglers wanted what I made and Double Haul Leatherworks was born.

My day job is as a Paramedic working for the city that I live in. I am proud to be a USAF veteran and am a very active participant in Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing.
