W.R. Taylor Rod company is a small, family-owned business located in Boiling Springs Pennsylvania. We specialize in hand crafted split cane fly rods for the freshwater angler. Our rods employ both time-tested tapers handed down from some of the 19th and 20th century masters of the art, and some of our own innovations. While we take enormous pride in the cosmetics of our rods, they are, first and foremost, superb casting tools that are made for fishing. Taylor rods have proven themselves on the demanding spring creeks of the Cumberland Valley, and will meet the challenges of great trout rivers everywhere.  We like to think our rods are among the very best and most beautiful fly rods in the world!

We're not the only folks who think so. In the five years we've been crafting our rods, anglers and dealers have begun to notice the pride and workmanship we put in every Taylor rod!

"An up and coming Pennsylvania rod maker! (this rod) has nice finishing touches...casts a nice loop and is very accurate!"  B.C. , Nashua, NH

"His rods are absolutely flawless...Bill deserves immediate attention."  C.L. , New City, NY

We offer built-to-order cane rods in both our standard series, and our custom Presentation series, to meet the needs of any angler.  We also repair cane rods. We have some in-stock rods that came to us as trade-ins or were demo or experimental rods.  Please take the time to browse our website and get to know our work.  If you've been thinking about taking a step up to your first cane rod, or adding a new rod to your cane collection, consider a Taylor Rod.
