Two James Green rods in progress. A semi-parabolic 7'4'', 4wt and a 10', 7wt switch rod. Both incredibly smooth and light tapers with great balance and performance. The semi-para is reserved for a customer, and the switch rod will be presented on the upcoming fair in Jönköping. This is a 4pc switch rod, perfect for 350-400 grain lines. I also have a 3pc blank of this taper.

I will list the switch rod for sale within a week or two. Let me know if you are interested.

BACKGROUND

I was born in 1973 in Hammarö, Sweden. I have my studio in Stockholm, where I have been building fly rods for five years. I work full time as an architect and have a family with a wife and two daughters. I do this for fun, even though it certainly inspires me in my job as an architect and designer.

I January 2013 I was honored with a membership as a Journeyman Rod Builder in the newly formed Rodsmith's Guild. I will do my very best to live up to the standards of this exclusive guild, and represent myself and Sweden in the future with new and beautiful fly rods.

BLANKS AND APPOINTMENTS

My rods are built in a minimalistic and sparse style with great attention to details. In every rod I build, I try to challenge myself and raise the level of the craftsmanship. Every blank deserves to be treated in its own unique way, with its own appointments and unique hardware. I mix standard products with custom made hardware to achieve this. My goal is to develop my style in every rod I build.

I represent Tom Morgan Rodsmiths and Epic Swift Flyfishing as their representative builder. I'm also open to build on other blanks, and have great contacts among shop blank manufacturers all over the world.
