Summer Series rods, each built ahead in the length and power we fish it in. The Cat Fishing Special is a fixed-spec river build, made to order.
Steadybend Summer Series
Hand-built Steadybend performance without the full custom price.
Each model is its own build in the length and power we fish it in, wrapped ahead in batches — so it leaves our shop within 1–2 business days. Gold and Silver thread is the exception: it's wrapped to order and ships within 10–14 days.
