Bamboo Rod builder near Sacramento, CA

[Sheepdog8404]

Looking for any information on some bamboo rod guys in or near Sacramento. I have a couple rods that need some work. Thanks for the help!

Its not Sacramento, but Doug Kulick at Kane Klassics in Reno might be able to help you out if you don't find anyone closer.

[Sheepdog8404]

Thanks, Dan. Hopefully I can find someone closer but if not, I'll give Doug a call.

Hey I know that little drugstore. It's like going back in time...as I recall, they still have seats at the
counter in the back. I wonder if they make milkshakes like they did back in the day?

Jim is the man, He's done excellent work for me in the past, and is an original prodigy of the Powell Family and building their quality fly rods. His experience of such is timeless. - J.

Jon & Lincoln----Jim came by the Truckee Guide NetWork booth at the Pleasanton show. Unbeknownst to most; I believe Jim built the Hexograph rod that was used in the classic "River Runs Through It" movie in the early '90's. I met Jim years ago on the McCloud; introduced to me by David Foster.
