In reply to Fall River Flyrods. No problem Julie. Your husband was very helpful and gave me tons of good info on the fly rod. It surely is a sweet stick and I was more than a little sad to have to mail it on. Fingers crossed that it comes back to AZ. Ben

DOH! Sorry, should have read all the way through this as I see that you’ve already spoken with Jason regarding how he builds our bamboo.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I think you will Ben 🙂

I can assure you that the blank was handcrafted by a single maker here in the fine state of Idaho 🙂

Each bamboo fly rod has about 80 man hours in them when they leave the shop~ each and every hour is put in by Jason Zicha himself as we have no shop elves as of yet.

good to hear. I don’t think I wiggled one of his rods at cabela’s – this thing was definitely chinese and the fit and finish were not up to snuff.

I spoke with the rod builder, Jason Zicha, and the rods are 100% manufactured by him, start to finish. He’s been building rods since ’97. Like I said, I’ll swing by the ponds next week and we’ll see if we can tempt some warm water critters on the fly.

I’ll swing by some night next week. I’m not sure where they are manufactured, but I will ask. It’s a pretty stick to say the least. I’m looking forward to fishing it.
