Look closely at my rods and you’ll see that I’ve incorporated much of what I’ve learned from the masters into my own rods.
My interest in the history of old rod makers and their cane rods has opened the door for me to become the sole rod appraiser for Lang’s auctions [starting in 2004]. This is the largest antique fishing tackle auction house in the United States. Each year, I am privileged to closely inspect hundreds of antique bamboo rods and describe them for the cataloged auctions held in April and November. I take advantage of this opportunity to study rods by the most respected masters of the past.
