I was out for a few hour during the morning with the owners of OnebyOne fly rods. These guys make custom rods built to order. They handed me a rod about a month ago and I can't put it down. I will be getting a few more for clients to use real soon. These rods are great and have the feel like no other rod I have ever used. I have used many from several different companies. Some good and some I wouldn't hit a one handed man with. I will post again soon about having these guys make anyone a custom made rod. Below you will find what they made me and how it works. I used this rod the other day and landed some real big fish. I have attached a copy of the crew for your viewing pleasure. The owners and builders Lori,John,Paul and Chaz. Keep the reels screaming
Bob,
your rod is built on a Sage Z- Axis blank. 11ft 8wt hand built and turned burl cork grip. Struble reel seat with built in fighting butt that holds reel in place. very secure. The guides are top of the line titanium frames with silicone carbide rings. As you now know they are as smooth as it get for casting and fighting fish. The weave is a two part weave with the an under pattern then your name weaved on top of the pattern. We think that rod is as good as it gets for steelhead fishing. We also tested the line rating on the rod with a scientific system to make sure a rod that says it is an 8wt is actually an 8wt. That blank is perfect. We check every blank that way so you are getting the line weight that you think you are. Have you ever had a rod that just would not cast right with the line you were using? The rating on the rod from the factory was probably wrong and the rod just won't perform.
