L.H. Design BAMBOO FLY RODS
L.H Design BAMBOO RODS
Leen Huisman is justly famous for his titanium fly reels but not so well known for his bamboo fly rods.
Thats a shame because, like everything that he makes, his rods are beautifully crafted, with a distinctive aesthetic appeal and style that is uniquely his own.
Leen makes rods for just about all possible fishing situations and has developed his tapers through many years of practical fishing experience and experimentation. So his rods, like his reels are not just objects of beauty but also proven fishing instruments.
Standard rods are constructed from the very best bamboo (arundinaria amabilis Mc.Clure, split and hand-planed) with nickel silver ferrules and high quality hard chrome rings and are dip varnished two or three times. A specialist grinding/polishing tool is used to polish the inner surface of the tungsten stripping guides on the light fly rods. This means a classic, minimalist look combined with full protection for any fly line, and avoids the risk of a lost or damaged lining. Every rod comes in an aluminium tube, with one tip, in a tasteful rod bag. Leather rod tubes are available at additional cost.
A wide range of special options are available to order which include; special tapers, spinning or carp rods, bespoke wooden rod cases, engraved reel fittings, choices of exotic reel seat woods and whipping colours, etc...
These rods mainly have a pleasant, moderate action. Some models, however, (indicated by (*) in the rod list ) have a significantly stiffer action..

Leen Huisman on the L.H.Design Programme
The L.H. Design programme is based on two principles. On the one hand there is the firm belief that "a thing of beauty is a joy forever", and L.H. Design fly rods and fly reels are trying to prove that saying true. On the other hand it goes without saying that the functional aspects of the design should certainly not be forgotten. Every craftsman knows that perfection is always one step away, yet the L.H. Design program is certainly striving for perfection. Now, and in the future, L.H. Design will be a guarantee for balanced design and craftsmanship.
All of these rods were designed over a period of years and a lifetime of experience has gone into the building of them. They are in use all over the world and have proved to be highly reliable fishing instruments.
