ABOUT US
Jeff and John have over 25 years’ experience handcrafting fine bamboo rods of timeless quality, elegance, and durability. It’s their experience and knowledge acquired from studying bamboo rod building masters and applying the same attention to detail used in architecture that has helped them create their own tapers and bring bamboo rod building into the 21st century. Both Jeff and John have traveled across the country, Cancun and Canada to fly fish for all types of species, (fresh water and saltwater) using the rods they built. One of their places (pictured above with fishing buddies) is Slough Creek, Yellowstone National Park.
ARC Fly Rods was established in 2020 and reopened in Roswell, Georgia in 2022 following the pandemic to provide affordable and easily accessible bamboo rod building workshops using the precision, esthetics, and quality that only they can provide. What sets them apart from other rod building workshops is not only their knowledge and experience but their hands-on approach and commitment to helping each customer leave with a high-quality beautiful rod that will last a lifetime. Both Jeff and John are involved in every step of the rod building process. This is their business and their passion to share the experience of rod building with every customer.
