Starting with the finest bamboo in the world, Luke Weiser Custom Rods has handcrafted a 7 ft, 2 tip, 5 wt rod.

As Luke creates each rod with the hopes that it will be passed through generations, his workmanship is flawless and each rod is a work of art. The perfect pairing for this rod is a beautiful handcrafted reel from Peetz Reels, complete with brass finishes, this reel completes the duo. The rod being auctioned tonight is a mixture of wood, metal and stone, which creates a distinct and unique appearance. It features a reel seat crafted using a mixture of Australian Corrugata and Central American Ziricote. The guide is a hawk’s eye (blue tiger’s eye) set into 14k gold and a matching hawk’s eye set into sterling silver at the butt. This rod also comes with a maple case and brass cap.
