Rod building

Do you have a damaged fly rod or would you like to refurbish your rod? Have you always wanted to build a fly rod or to know more about doing so? Do you know what the components are for building a rod? Question after question … here you can get the answers.

Visit the rod building workshop at Bending Feathers.
There you can show your damaged fishing rod and get advice from the Sebastian and Melanie Kiebist team about what can be done. The team can carry out the work either immediately, overnight, or during the winter months.

You can also learn all about building various models and get ideas for your own fly rod. You will find all materials and components to build your own rod. That is an interesting and pleasant activity, particularly in the autumn and winter seasons.
