FLY ROD CASES

Hand sewn fly rod cases in hand curried, weatherproof bridle leather, suited to elegantly crafted fly rods. Available in colors of light and dark Havana or, combined for a perfect contrast between the two shades of brown. An aluminum tube insert wrapped in best grade Mali wool billiard cloth adds an elegant touch and rattle free protection for the finest fly rods. Case fittings are European brass.

Stitched across BUTTED EDGES our cases are hand sewn, the only means possible to provide a FLAT BODY SEAM and a truly round leather fly rod case, as seen in the photo, lower left.

Hand curried bridle leather provides all weather protection and generations of durability. Stuffed by hand with wax, oils and lanolin, our currier produces waxy finished, all weather bridle leather the same now as they have for more than 100 years. Thus, an elegant leather case to grace and protect fine fly rods.

Carrying handle is included. Shoulder straps also available. Our cap closure design has been the trade standard design for round leather cases since the 1800's and for good reason, the cap stays secured to the case when in the open position, providing the most durable alternative.

Our reel on rod fly rod case is an elegant version of a modern standard. With a fully protected neck and soft shearling lined zippered pouch, reelonrod cases are available for standard and large arbor reels.

We offer round cases from 2" to 4", reel-on-rod cases, 1800's style roll up cases and luggage pieces specially designed to carry several rods with several reels plus accessories.

We also build cases to fit over your existing capped tube.

FLY REEL CASE

A true clam style reel case with elegant flowing lines formed by a mathematically calculated ellipse. A hard, rigid case in stout 3/16" thick bridle leather properly designed after 1800 style clam cases with a flush fitting lid fully supported internally to provide stability and rigidity to the cap. A strap snugly secures the cap to the body with a Sam Browne stud. Inside, billiard cloth provides a traditional lining and a smashing contrast to the rich color of the hand curried English bridle leather. A complicated, labor intensive case with fittings to fractions of a millimeter combine with impeccable hand sewing to insure an aesthetically pleasing valise for the finest of Vom Hofe style reels.
