There's not a day that goes by where Jacob and I don't discuss rod building, doesn't matter if we're out to eat or out fishing a beautiful creek; we will compare reel seats, match guides, mentally plane a rod, or complain about a scarce thread for wrapping. These are regular days, in typical situations.

Almost one year ago I put up an advertisement on the blog offer rod bags in the hopes of supplementing my income a little bit and understanding the world of rod building a little bit better (mostly for Jacob's sake).
One year later it's become my full-time job.
Thanks to you guys!
I've had so much fun on this little journey, sending bags out to builders from Key West to Montana to Australia. I've grown from simple bags to flannel to even tiny little ferrule plug pockets, and it really is all because of my customers.
Y'all have come up with some really fantastic ideas and I feel really lucky to be able to execute them.
Over this year, I've made some invaluable friendships, even though I never actually "met" most of you, but hopefully, someday I will.
In honor of this little anniversary of mine and with the upcoming Holiday Season (remember me on small business Saturday, because I'll be Opting Outside on black Friday) I'm offering 10% off your order when you use the code "ONEYEAR" from now until December 31, 2017, in my shop.
As always, if you'd prefer to order through email, feel free, just mention this post and I'll apply to 10% off.
Thank you again, to all of you! I don't think I can say it enough, but I'm sure going to try. It's been a hell of a ride, and I can't wait to see what's in store next!
Tapered Rod Bags
Recently I've been working on some really fun, tapered rod bags.
These are great for builders looking for a more "vintage" bag or fitting some of the smaller diameter rod tubes on the market. The top of the bag is the same as my signature standard rod bag, then tapers down to a much smaller width at the bottom.

Hello All,
I've been getting a lot of emails and messages recently asking if I was back home and back to working on rod bag orders, admittedly I definitely didn't make it as clear that I was back as I did when I was leaving... Sorry guys!
