Double-handed Rods

Being an avid salmon fisherman, I also offer double-handed split cane rods as a part of my portfolio. As with the single-handed rods, I craft my double-handed rods with a maximum of quality and casting performance.

  • Robert-Lachs

The rods have a progressive rod action and are designed for casting with modern Spey lines and shooting head  systems.

 

  • Gary-Cast
  • Gary-Fish

Spey cast by Spey casting world champion Gary Scott

 

The rods are hollow built up to the tip to reduce the weight. At the same time, this leads to an improvement in rod recovery. With the longer rod (13ft and up) the blank is additionally designed in a two-layer construction.

 

  • Hollow
  • Tape


The rod parts are joined with the classical, spliced connection. This connection provides the best power transmission from one rod part to the next, not interrupted by ferrules. Apart from that, this connection resists the torsional forces permanently occurring during the Spey cast - without the danger of breaking rods as with metal ferrules.

There are rod models in lengths of 12 ft - 14 ft and in line weights of 8-10 available.

 

  • DoubleHand-HS
  • DoubleHand-Wall
  • HS-DoubleHand-Butt

 

 

Single-handed Rods

  • Einhandrute2
  • Einhandrute3

 

Alternatively, you can select from a series of proven split cane rod models.

"RS-Ultralight" - length 6'3"ft/190 cm; line weight 2; 2-pc
A very, very fine rod, ideal for clear mountain streams and the most precise presentation of small flies.

"RS-Preciosa" - length 6'8"ft/203 cm; line weight 3; 2-pc
A "medium-fast" rod, equipped with a very fine tip. The rod already works at close range and, because of its structure, holds sufficient reserves to cast also medium distances.

"RS-Liwet" - length 7 ft/213 cm; line weight 4; 2-pc
A rod with a "faster" action and a fine tip - ideal for fishing with dry flies. It is a wonderful rod for small to medium waters.

"RS-Signum" - length 6'3" ft/190 cm; line weight 4-5; 2-pc
A powerful rod with fast rod action. Due to the short length it is very well suited for use on overgrown waters.

"RS-Klassik" - length cm 7'3 "ft/220; line weight 4, 2-pc
A sensitive rod with nearly parabolic action. The rod has a tough backbone and a remarkable speed. Ideally suited for fishing with a thinner leader.

"RS-Sinfonie" - length 7 ft/213 cm; line weight 5; 2-pc
A genuine all-round rod with fast rod action. "The careful calculation of taper ensures the fine and precise presentation from close range to remote distance." (See Fisch & Fliege magazine No 13, page 90)

"RS-Isaria" - length 7'6" ft/228 cm; line weight 5; 2-pc
Powerful rod with progressive rod action that covers the full spectrum of fishing for trout and grayling. It is versatile - from dry flies to nymphs. This rod is very easy to cast with.

"RS-Tonkina" - length 8'0" ft/243 cm, line weight 5; 2-pc; hollow-built
This rod has a medium, progressive rod action. Suitable for larger waters due to its length.

"RS-Tonkina +2"  - length 8'2" ft/249 cm, line weight 5; 2-pc; hollow-built
Constructed in the same way as the model above - but with extra length.

"RS- Fortis" - length 8'0" ft/243 cm; line weight 6; 2-pc; hollow-built
This is the strongest rod model which I offer as a standard. A rod for heavier trout fishing, for using weighted nymphs and streamers.

 

Upon request different line weights, lengths and / or divisions.
