Amelia Tufts and Gabe Batson are growing their national reputation. The Jordan-Mills Rod Company carries one of their fly rods in its Spring 2015 catalog, and says their rods “may be the nicest rods made by any contemporary maker today.”
From the catalog:
“Rod has a brisk semi parabolic feel and is a virtual casting machine for either 4 or 5 wt. lines – I like it with a 5. The reputation of Amelia Tufts and Gabe Batson has virtually exploded in the world of emerging makers and I am proud to be one of their earliest brokers. Their rods are spectacular for performance, structural integrity and appearance.”
Join Amelia and Gabe at the Maplewood Fly Tying Club at Stone Spiral Coffee and Curios (2500 Sutton Boulevard) Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m. to to “drink coffee, tie flies, and talk about fly fishing. Bring your vise and we will see you there.”
Having a top rod builder in Maplewood is fantastic. And now having fly tying club also even better.
