Custom Bamboo Fly Rods by Kane Klassics

Welcome to Kane Klassics Bamboo and Graphite fly rod web site. Within I will illustrate, explain and answer your questions on both my bamboo and graphite rods.

We are located in Reno, Nevada, in the center of the National Air Race Reno Stead Airport. Our custom-built aircraft hanger and workshop has greatly expanded our workspace and office area. This allows even greater support to you, our valued friends and clients.

We have been crafting bamboo and graphite rods since 1988. Kane Klassics growth and future are dependent upon our highly enthusiastic clients and friends who year after year, through the use of their Kane Klassics rods, enjoy the most from their fly-fishing endeavors. From the West Coast to the East Coast, from Pacific Islands to the Alaskan wilderness rivers, literally worldwide, our rods and rod restorations perform beyond owner expectations.

I personally wish to extend my sincere "thank you" to you, our friends, for your support and loyalty. I promise an exciting future of continuing excellence in fly rod performance and quality. I look forward to your personal letters, calls, and e-mail. Being a small rod company, when you ask questions, I personally answer them. This level of service will continue as we move ahead.

Thank you all again, and as always keep in touch...

ROD CONSTRUCTION

The cane that is used for each Kane Klassic rod has been seasoned for forty years. This select stock is hand split, carefully sectioning out each strip in preparation for hand planing the delicate tapers. The traditional and accurate art of hand planing assures the strongest rod possible.

TAPER DESIGNS

Over the years I have perfected my taper designs to meet the primary objective of excellence in casting performance. I design my tapers to cast modern fly lines. Modern tapers result in reduced overall diameter of the completed rod.

ROD CONSTRUCTION

I flame temper my rods, which colors them from light straw hues to beautifully dark shades of amber. At the request of the individual, I can also oven heat treat the cane in a manner that gives the completed rod a deep blond cast.
