If you’ve got a taste for champagne, an appreciation for exquisite beauty, and the desire for investment quality, the Rubicon Series is for you. They get a lot of extra love in the selection of bamboo, node matching, wrapping, varnishing and sanding. Our ammonia treating process for the handpicked Tonkin bamboo provides a deep and very attractive caramel color. Reel seat hardware, winding & cork checks and ferrules are made of nickel silver bar stock. Exotic wood spacers and agate strippers are made and/or customized in our shop. Snake guides are dark stainless with a right twist, and handles are of the finest flor grade cork rings shaped to the client’s preference.
Each rod section is wrapped with antique silk thread in a unique Rubicon pattern of black main wraps with gold tipping. A unique Rubicon signature wrap adorns the butt section between the stripper and hook keeper. Finally, each rod gets at least four coats of spar varnish sanded between each coat giving it a glass like finish...
Rubicon’s are made to order and each is marked with a serial # denoting length, weight and taper source. Attention is paid to the smallest of details creating a true one-of-a-kind creation.
