UPDATE: There are a couple of Eden Cane rods available for delivery in @ 2-3 weeks; one 7' 4 wt & one 7' 9" 4 wt, both 2 piece rods. Please contact me for more information.
Otherwise I expect rods to become available later this winter.
I have now taken delivery of my first Eden Cane rod. It is ultimately destined to be donated to the
WTT for their ebay annual auction in 2011. I'll be handing this rod over to the WTT at the CLA Game Fair, so why not visit their stall and ask to have a look (you may even catch me there).
The page is now up & running; have a look at the short film by Sam Ebersole that I've added. The pics. have now been added, along with the initial price details and the full range and availability information will be available very soon.

ABEL FLY REELS
The Alternative Tackle Company is also now an Abel reel dealer.
Abel reels are another Big Name that needs no introduction.
But this being The Alternative Tackle Company, I will be listing their reel ranges that are less often seen, such as the TR, Abel Creek & the new super series 3N models and concentrating on the special anodised finishes and custom orders.
The pages are now on line & you'll find them here.

THOMAS & THOMAS FLY RODS
I'm pleased to announce that The Alternative Tackle Company are now approved Thomas & Thomas dealers.
Thomas and Thomas are one of the most respected and well known names in the rod making industry. Their rods are still designed by Thomas Dorsey one of the original Thomas' & their pedigree & functionality are very hard to match.
In spite of this they have been very difficult to find in the UK & not very widely available anywhere...... sounds like a job for The Alternative Tackle Company!

here for the Thomas and Thomas rod pages.
