  The Evening Rise™ is proud to offer Sweetgrass Cane Fly Rods to our cane rod selection. Made in Twin Bridges, Montana, Sweetgrass Cane Rods are a collaboration of the finest cane rod makers of our time. The "Boo Boys" as they are know, have come together to continue a legacy of fine bamboo rod craftsmanship in Montana. With over 80 years of collective rod building experience, the Sweetgrass Rod Boo Boys promise to build bamboo fly rods that are as special as they are a credit to the craft.

The Boo Boys: Glen Brackett, Jerry Kustich, Wayne Macca and Jeff Walker

Hand Crafted Fly Rods

Sweetgrass offers a wide selection of rods in quad, pent, and hex configurations. The actions are a progressive flow that loads and unloads smoothly with long or short lengths of line. The wraps on quad and hex rods are reddish tan with burgundy trims. Pentagonal rods will be burgundy with black tipping. Cane rod hardware includes nickel-silver reel seat components with a variety of wood inserts in a choice of either up or down locking configuration. Guides are dark snakes with matching agate stripper. The cork handle is cigar or half wells (customer choice).

 

Pricing, Quotes and Deposits

While there are many wonderful rods to choose from in the bamboo market, several factors determine the price of a bamboo rod. At Sweetgrass the cost reflects the eighty-some years of collective experience with rod building craftsmanship. Two-piece two tip rods start at $2000.  Three-piece two-tip rods start at $2500. Custom orders will be done on a quote basis. A $300.00 fully refundable deposit secures a position on the waiting list. Along with a warranty on all workmanship, satisfaction is fully guaranteed as well. Prices do not include shipping and handling charges.

 

Delivery Timing

Demand for Sweetgrass Rods has outpaced current capacity to hand craft these special rods. And, they are also building a new shop which has contributed to longer delivery times than desired. As a result, it will take eight months to a year for Sweetgrass to fulfill an order. Once the new shop is fully functional their goal will be to deliver  rods in six months.
