My Best Bamboo Rods For Tiny Spring Creeks
In 2007 I launched a small creek rod called the “Little Mecoche” named after a small spring creek that my ancestors lived near. Ancestors from over 175 years ago. My great grandfather was a fabricator in “Iron City” Bellefontaine Ohio. He was one of those old school craftsman that use to write down shop drawings on butcher paper while sitting at the kitchen table after hours. He was extremely resourceful and very OC as I understand. This small rod really was honoring him and his legacy when I first started developing it.

Over the years I have made many many of these rods and I personally fish mine about 50% of the time during the season.
