Bamboo fly rods designed to disappear but impossible to forget.

Each Haywood rod is handcrafted to be the finest fishing instrument you will own. Split cane bends differently, has its own rhythm and helps an angler find the same.

The result becomes an extension of you that so effortlessly places a fly you might even forget you're holding it… That is until there’s a strike.

A Truly Custom Rod

Rod choice comes down to more than species and waters. Unlike graphite, bamboo tapers are truly customizable not only to length and line weight, but also to casting style and desired feel.

The first step in ordering a Haywood rod is a consultation to help determine what taper will best suit your particular situation. Then the fun starts. You’ll have an opportunity to personalize your rod and select all its components.
