The BUILDER Posts

Over the coming months The Fiberglass Manifesto will be bringing you an inside look to the custom fiberglass rod builders that you may or may not know. Some of these builders are full time while others spend their evenings and weekends completing orders in their spare time. These builders work out of shops, garages, basements, and spare bedrooms and the end products they produce are nothing less than art.


(Gypsy Rod Works and Leiderman Custom Fiberglass Builds)

Most of these builders are already listed on the right side of the blog under the "T.F.M. Approved Builders" list but there are still a few that don't maintain an online presence yet and this series of posts will be an opportunity to make their work known.

These BUILDER posts will tell each rod builder's story, what they offer as a custom shop, and then the aspects of their builds that may set them apart from others.

Finally, if you know of any custom fiberglass fly rod builders that should be included in this series of posts please send me an email to let me know. In the end I'd like these posts to be a complete reference for those interested in a custom fiberglass build.

Cameron,
Wonderful idea and great gesture of TFM. Those independent artist really need to have more exposure. Essentially this is the foundation of our hobby - the beauty and creativities. You know... like Kevin said... "Yeah.. Microbrew" ha... the last part is kidding... I really enjoy seeing all the great works! : )
