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!
Rod Bags {PSA}
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!
Read moreNew Shop!
You may or may not have noticed that I've added a "shop" for selling my rod bags. My hope is that it will make the ordering process a little more streamlined. I've got the six different styles I offer available with an option box to fill in your specifications (i.e rod size, fabric and thread color preferences, and if you're working with a fighting butt or oversized guides.)

According to Jacob, this rod is equally suitable for both small stream fishing and larger bodies of water, able to handle the wind, as well as the larger fish; a classicly smooth and progressive taper, just as, I'm sure, Mr. Garrison intended it to be.

That being said, we will be gone for the entire month of September.
If you are need of a sock (or more) or anticipate needing any next month, please place your order before August 18th. Any order placed after that date I cannot guarantee to be finished and shipped before I leave.
