"All the rods tested were interesting. However, two really stood out; the C. W. Jenkins and the Sam Carlson Four Strip Rod. It was a pleasure to find out that it is still possible today to buy a top-quality bamboo rod." -New York Anglers Club-
In 1976 the New York Anglers Club christined the Jenkins Rod as one of the finest of its time, and nearly forty years later it remains as such!
I am very proud to welcome C. W. JENKINS ROD COMPANY to my growing list of world renown rodmakers! I have long admirered the work Charlie and Steve have offered since 1960! They continue to receive much deserved acclaim from such fly-fishing notables as John Geirach, Charlie Waterman,Ed Engle, A K Best, Marty Keane, Carmine Lisella, Barry Beck, and Jerry Stein. They are a bamboo institution themselves,and only those fortunate enough to cast these wonderfully effortless tapers on stream can fully understand the smoothness and elegant simplicity of the Jenkins bamboo fly rod. Using either oven or flame tempering, silver of blued nickel silver hardware, and signature mortised cherry wood reel seat, these rods are modern day classics and future collectables.
