From culm to culmination

Art Weiler Rods showcases the handcrafted fly rods built by master rod maker Art Weiler in his Pennsylvania workshop. For decades, Art created bamboo and glass fly rods using traditional methods, classic tapers, and a deep respect for craftsmanship and performance.

Each bamboo rod was hand-split, hand-planed, and finished one at a time to preserve the natural power fibers of the cane. The result is a smooth, responsive rod with a progressive feel and a true connection between angler and fish.

Art was especially known for his interpretations of legendary tapers from makers such as Garrison, Payne, Leonard, Young, Dickerson, and Granger, along with his own small-stream and specialty designs.

The rods offered here represent the final shop inventory personally built by Art before his passing in 2025. These are functional works of angling heritage—crafted to be fished, enjoyed, and passed down.
