Semper Fly Rods

"My experience with Semper Fly Rods was nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure I received the rod ASAP despite the challenges with the mail service we're all experiencing. After the rod was declared lost in the mail, I received a new one via UPS within just a few days. The new Ares 2021 9ft 5wt rod was carefully packaged and arrived in excellent condition. Right out of the box it was abundantly clear this was made with pride and extremely high quality craftsmanship. Just what you would expect. Could not be happier with this purchase for my friend and active duty USMC service member. Thank you!"

"This past weekend I was honored to be invited to a Veteran Appreciation Fly Fishing Weekend hosted by the Clinton Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited. All the Veterans were presented with a Semper Fly 5wt rod. This weekend was a dream come true, I love my new rod and look forward to fishing with it in the future. I appreciate your support."

"In the year I’ve used Tony’s handmade rods I have been very impressed. I’ve fished everything from the smallest of flies on the San Juan to streamers on my home waters. I’ve brought it 28” browns and tiny brook trout. I’m going to stick with these over big brand rods to support the Veteran Owned community. Semper Fly!"

"I was lucky enough to find Semper Fly Rods as a rod maker for a very special project. Tony was willing to help me out and turn my ideas into a beautiful memorial rod made to honor a nephew that had passed away at just 4 years of age. Tony put blood, sweat and tears into a magnificent piece of art created as a gift to my brother to honor the life of little Jer Bear. I was blown away by the passion, time and emotion that Tony put into this rod for a family and a boy that he had never met. Tony brought my ideas to life and was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Tony for any custom rod needs. No amount of thank you’s would express my appreciation for his quality work and willingness to take on this project."

"As owner of a fly fishing guide service, quality of our gear matters a great deal as it directly relates to our guest experience. I can say without a doubt that Semper Fly Rods are in a league of their own in terms of quality. Their models handle everything from brookies to steelhead with ease, and our anglers love fishing with them! I cannot recommend their rods enough."
