WHY CHOOSE ARC FLY RODS
PRECISION
You will create a precision fly rod customized with progressive tapers using top rated tools and equipment with hands-on professional guidance from Jeff and John. They have designed a unique process to create beautifully handcrafted bamboo rods designed to catch the fish you want to catch. These rods are tapered precisely to the correct measured degree required for fly fishing.
"I caught my first fish with my new rod and had a great time building it with Jeff and John." - Steve
TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Bamboo rods crafted by you under the professional guidance and assistance of Jeff and John, who studied from the great rod building masters of all time. The craftsmanship is beautiful, functional, and crafted using the highest quality bamboo from Asia, equipment and components needed. Your hand-crafted rod will be ready to take fishing at the end of your workshop.
DURABILITY
Bamboo is a very light building material, yet it is three times stronger than timber. Bamboo has a greater tensile strength than steel, meaning it can withstand more tension or stretching pressure before breaking. This makes our bamboo rods resilient, flexible and strong. Your rod will be built to last for a lifetime of fly fishing.
SCHEDULING
It typically takes 5 days to craft a custom bamboo rod. Rod building workshops consists of up to 5 students to ensure we can provide the personal guidance and assistance needed to craft your fly fishing rod.
WE PROVIDE EVERYTHING
We provide the finest bamboo cane from Asia, top quality rod building equipment, components, tools and materials -- everything you need to craft your fly fishing rod. No experience is needed. With our professional instruction, assistance, and guidance, our rod building workshops are a fun and unforgettable experience.
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.
