Welcome to Renaissance Rods

My name is Pete Emmel, owner of Renaissance Rods and maker of high quality custom fly rods. I specialize in bamboo, fiberglass, and graphite fly rods in all sizes and weights. My focus is creating custom fly rods with classic lines, traditional looks, and of the highest quality to last a lifetime.

I believe everyone should own a custom fly rod, something that is unique to them and different from what can be bought off a shelf. My goal is to build you a top quality, one of a kind, custom fly rod to your exact specifications. The process to get started with your custom rod is very simple, contact me and we'll talk about your wants and desires in a custom rod and we’ll work out the budget and timeline.

Thank you for your interest in Renaissance Rods and I look forward to the opportunity of building you a custom fly rod to your specifications.
