All of Fran's custom rods are built from his special taper hi modulus blanks. Each is given his special care in finding the spine, spacing the guides to bring out the ultimate in casting ability and hand crafted to his specifications. They are signed and created to be the finest casting rods you can buy. Each comes in a hand sewn custom bag and an aluminum case with the AuSable River Series logo.

NOTICE: All custom rod orders during the remainder of this year will be processed at the listed price. Beginning Jan lst, I will be forced to raise the price on my deluxe series of rods. All orders will take two to three weeks to process so allow this time for Christmas orders. I regret that there were delays in getting some fly orders out during the season but I can only tie about 150 flies a day and I tie all of my custom orders. To insure getting flies promptly, order during the winter months for your spring flies. Note that my original patterns are not available anywhere else. These include the Ausable Wulff, the Haystacks, the Usual, Ausable Bombers and Mini-Muddlers, and Ausable Caddis.
