From fly casting on the River Test to pursuing sailfish and marlin off the coast of Kenya, Chris brings a lifetime of angling knowledge to every build. His understanding of real-world fishing shapes every decision, from the blank you choose to the final finishing wraps.

Quality overrides quantity with quality requiring time. Chris looks forward to working with you.

Chris Ward

Alongside full-sized rods, Chris creates unique miniature rod art pieces—small, detailed displays that capture the look and feel of a handcrafted rod in a framed presentation. Each piece is made by hand and designed specifically for the person receiving it, making it a meaningful gift or keepsake for anglers of all ages.

No two frames are the same. Colours, themes, and layouts can be tailored to match special memories, personal achievements, favourite waters, or an angler’s unique style. Whether it’s a celebration, a retirement gift, or simply something special to display at home, miniature rod art offers a distinctive way to honour someone’s connection to fishing.

A great rod starts with a clear, thoughtful process. Here’s how each build comes together, step by step, to match your fishing and your expectations on the water.
