~HANDCRAFTED BAMBOO FLY RODS~
(*delivery on rod orders are now 4-5 months out)
Shuksan Rod Company bamboo fly rods are made in Bellingham, Washington– an old bay side town below the high alpine of the North Cascades. Each rod is entirely handmade, one at a time, deliberately crafted with an eye for the history and traditions of the trade. And, perhaps, in an attempt to make something perfect and apart.
A split-cane bamboo fly rod can take you in and out of time. To a world aside, to a world apart.
To the other side of Wonder.
Casting with split-cane turns time around. Suspends it. Removes from the moment the progressive. Disregards along with it the synthetic. The rod is as ancestral to the Earth as the rivers it reaches out to. A fly fisherman’s longing for both, at once anointed, tied to them by a blade of grass in silk wrappings.
It will drag you into a liquid alpine. Into a cold and clean timelessness. Blue and green. To feel a wet Earth, feel some pulse in the easy runs and riffles. Get lost and found in the rhythm of a cast, and taken to the other side of Wonder.
