Jim Pippel brings a wealth of experience to his craft.  In his thirty-five years as a design engineer in the machine tool industry, he learned the importance of incorporating precision, physics, and workmanship into every step.  A lifelong love of fishing and collecting angler memorabilia brought interest to the historical construction of bamboo fly rods.  His enjoyment of working with wood and using hand tools adds pleasure to his work.  A completed rod represents not only Jim's craftsmanship but also a combination of his loves and talents.
