Recently we were asked to design and create a rod sock and tube sleeve for a custom-made bamboo fly rod that was going to be raffled for a certain non-profit. That got us thinking.  We'd already arranged to make tube sleeves for Ron Barch, the famous split cane bamboo rod maker and teacher (and editor of The Planing Form, publisher at Alder Creek Publishing)...so when Ron said he was going to mention us in his newsletter as being available to custom-make rod-socks and tube sleeves, we realized we'd better get some pictures up on the website. Take a look at the pictures, measure your fly rod and its tube, then give us a call to talk about the options. 734-424-4822 Eastern time.

Custom Made Rod Bag
Our Price: $45.00

What do you call these things? Rod bags?  Socks?  Sleeves?  Stockings?  Well, in any case, we're making them now -- to order only.  This one is made with 100% cotton duck, hand-printed with various fly-fishing insects.  Yours can be plain, hand-dyed, printed, embroidered -- you name it.  Prices start at $45 for a 2-piece stocking.  We can use organic cotton,  a blend of cotton and hemp, silk noil, and muslin. We sew them with an enclosed seam so your rod guides do not get caught on stray threads inside the sleeve.  Please give us a call to talk about your wildest rod-sock dreams.  877-TROUT30 (Eastern time zone).
Fly Rod Tube Sleeve
Custom Made Tube Sleeve
Our Price: $45.00

Some rods never leave the house without an "outfit" on.  Never mind they're just running errands or going down the driveway to pick up the mail - they're always dressed.  It's all about self-esteem, baby. And if you were a lovingly hand-made split cane bamboo fly rod, wouldn't YOU want to look your best everywhere you went? Hell, you don't even have to be bamboo -- you could be any rod that's loved and revered.... Yes, you have a soft supple stocking to slip into for the everyday life inside your tube, but now you can have a deluxe custom-made sleeve for the tube itself.  Now that's luxury! We'll make one for you out of your choice of herringbone, olive/sage, or natural cotton/hemp heavyweight canvas*.  We'll sew it to your specifications.  We'll honor the love. Prices start at $45.  Click on "Larger Photo" to see more photos. Please give us a call to talk about everything you've always wanted in a tube sleeve.  877-TROUT30 (Eastern time zone).
