We build many sizes and line weights of fly rods and we take great pride in discussing and recommending a bamboo (or graphite) fly rod for your particular needs.

ART WEILER RODS is well-known for our "Garrison Reproduction" fly rods in lengths of 6 ½ to 8' in line weights 2 to 7.

The Garrison action is "progressive" - that means the rod loads as demand is placed on it.
This action can work in close or far as required. It is an easy loading, precise casting and enjoyable fishing rod.

Additionally, we build Garrison reproduction fly rods in flamed cane and some models in 3 piece (3/2 format) for portability and safety (from theft).

Our "Small Stream" series is specifically designed for fly rod use on creeks, brooks and runs. These rods have been tested for years in this special fishing environment. These rods have stronger tips and faster line speeds.

Two piece/two tips (2/2):		Small Stream Special 5 ½' one piece 4 wt with sack and tube @ $495 blonde or flamed, slide band seat
6'	3 wt
6½'	4 wt
7'	4 wt
7'	5 wt

Three piece/two tips (3/2):
7'	4 wt

For small stream fishing, we would also highly recommend the following reproduction models we make:

Garrison	Payne	Pezon	Young	Dickerson

202E	96	72	72	7012
201E	98	(R Loire)	63
204E
206 (7½)
209 (7½)

For delicate midge fishing, our recommendations are for the following:

Garrison	Payne	Young	Small Stream (special taper)

204E	197 (3/2) 7½	7½ Perfectionist	(3/2) 7½ both 3 and 4 wt
206L

For a good all-around trout rod for eastern streams (and many other places) we recommend a 7½ - 5 wt line fly rod.

217K 3/2 - a strong Kreider-derived taper
Dickerson 7613 (2/2) (modified with a stronger tip and less butt)
Payne 101 - 7½
Leonard 39-5 full flex action

At ART WEILER RODS we also build reproductions of other famous fly rods.

Payne 6½-96; 7'-98; 7½-101; 8'-102H; 7½(3/2)-197

Payne temper node stagger, CSE reproduction ferrules, special thread and other parts

Leonard 7'-38-4; 7½-39-5

Other models available. These rods have pale cane, swelled butt, red wrap or honey wrap

Dickerson 7'-7012; 7½-7013; 7½ (3/2) 761510; 8014 and others

Our Dickerson reproductions are blonde cane correct stagger (3+3), brown wrapped black tipped, signature wraps, special sack and black capped tube.

Pezon (parabolic)	72 4/5 R. Loire
	77 5/6 Colorado

These parabolic rods have a great power to weight ratio. The casting stroke is slower but high-line speed is generated. Easy to cast once you adjust your casting stroke. I have revised the rods to center ferrule (butt and tip are equal length).

Granger 8' (3/2) 5 wt

Full flex action - other models available

Young 63 Midge; 72 Driggs; 7½ Perfectionist

Gillum 7½ - 5 wt taper

In addition to building new cane rods, ART WEILER RODS can restore older bamboo fly rods, including building new sections, re-setting ferrules, new cork, wrapping and varnishing.

Costs are reasonable and usually range from $100 to $200, of course depending on the level of craft and wrapping details. Also intermediate wraps are done.

ART WEILER RODS builds graphite fly rods. We have a good knowledge of blanks, actions, etc. In addition, we stock many moderate cost blanks and can complete your fly rod in short order. We produce many fly rods in lengths of 6½' to 9' with a variety of handles (We can custom grind most shapes) and reel seats (aluminum, nickel, silver, slide band and up-and-down lock). All our graphite fly rods come with a cloth sack and heavy-duty (air core) plastic travel tube with a screw off cap.

Why buy several store rods until you get one that works for you? Our fishing rod knowledge ranges from creek rods to steelhead. After discussion with you, ART WEILER RODS will build the rod you want the way you want it. Our cost to you is often less than stores ranging from $100 to $250 in most cases.

For years ART WEILER RODS has finished fly and U.L. Spinning rods. We build U.L. Spinning rods in lengths of 4½' to 6' with light lines (2-6 pounds) in one and two-piece.
Our handles (slide band) are glued and ground on the blank for the sensitivity and fit. All spin rods come with a cloth sack and a heavy-duty plastic tube. Prices are $75 to $150 in most cases. We also build bamboo spin rods - 6' 2/1 4-8 pounds@ $250 with sack and tube.

ART WEILER RODS often has finished rods in stock ready to ship. Most Garrison reproduction rods in blonde cane are $845.00 (two tips) plus $25 S/H/I. Three piece (3/2) are $895.00 plus S/H/I. All prices subject to change.
