Yeah, I'm a lefty!

My two passions in life are rodbuilding and woodworking, so I decided to combine them to create beautiful, yet functional, custom fly rods that any angler would be proud to own. Each handle and reel seat insert is hand turned on my lathe, using only the finest grades of maple, claro walnut, red cedar, cocobolo and gaboon ebony to name just a few species. All my fly rods are properly balanced to exceed the demands of even the most discerning angler by taking into account the length of the rod, line weight, reel seat hardware, style of grip and type of wood.

The testimonials of my customers support the fact that these are high quality and functional fly rods that will be enjoyed for years to come. So feel free to browse the site and please consider Southpaw Angler for your next fly rod purchase.
