    Jim Victorine specializes in split cane fly rods but I think he does everything.

    2nd the recommendation on Larry Lee, he built a rod for me a couple years ago and I was happy with the cost as well as the outcome and the turnaround time was fast.

    Yes, but hear he could be retiring soon but his business will still be pumping out rods.
