the rivercraft bamboo ROD collection series

FIND YOUR RIVERCRAFT

We understand and appreciate the history, lore, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty of a truly handcrafted bamboo fly rod. But we also understand that not everyone wants to spend thousands of dollars on a rod that they’re then afraid to take to the river. At Rivercraft Rodsmiths, we believe a bamboo rod should be more than something beautiful to admire—it should be something you fish. That’s why we work hard to keep our handcrafted rods priced within reach of more anglers, while also offering other bamboo rod options at even more accessible price points. Our goal is simple: to make it possible for more people to experience the feel, character, and unmistakable spirit of a real bamboo fly rod without feeling like they have to leave it at home.

At Rivercraft Rodsmiths, We Give You Three Ways to Experience Bamboo

Whether you're curious about bamboo, looking for a dependable everyday river rod, or searching for a one-of-a-kind heirloom, Rivercraft Rodsmiths has a rod for you.

RIVER SERIES Rods — Discover Bamboo
Our most accessible way to experience bamboo. River Series rods are professionally factory-produced and offer excellent quality, dependable performance, and the unmistakable feel of bamboo—at an exceptionally approachable price. They're a great choice for anglers who want to try bamboo for themselves without making a significant investment. All River Series Rods include a 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects.

FIELD SERIES Rods — Experience the Craft
Field Series rods begin with professionally manufactured bamboo blanks and are then completed, fitted, wrapped, finished, and inspected by hand in our Utah shop. This combination gives you the character and feel of bamboo with the added attention of Rivercraft craftsmanship, while keeping the price well below a completely hand-built rod. It's an ideal balance of craftsmanship, performance, and value, and you get to pick the color of your wraps. All Field Series Rods include a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

HANDCRAFTED SERIES Rods — Own the Art
Our Handcrafted Series represents the pinnacle of traditional bamboo rodmaking. Each rod is built entirely by hand from carefully selected raw bamboo by our master rodmakers. Every strip is individually shaped, fitted, glued, finished, and tuned to create a truly unique fly rod. These are rods made for the angler who appreciates the artistry, individuality, and heirloom quality of a completely handmade bamboo rod. All Handcrafted Series Rods include a 2-year “butt to tip” warranty against manufacturing defects and accidental breakage.

We offer free cold laser engraving of your name or initials on all of our rods.

Of course, we invite you to join us for one of our bamboo rod-building classes where you can build your very own Field Series or Handcrafted rod. See our Courses page for more information.

THREE SERIES. ONE PASSION.
