Explore our exclusive collection of C.F. Burkheimer Rods — fly rods where craftsmanship, performance and artistry converge. Every rod is handcrafted in the Pacific Northwest, built by small-batch artisans who believe the blank isn’t just a tool, it’s an extension of the angler’s touch. Whether you’re casting dries on a mountain stream or swinging heavy flies for steelhead in big water, C.F. Burkheimer Rods deliver refined feel, strong backbone, and unmistakable character.
Trout-specific models bring delicate presentation and “Burkie feel” for tight water and subtle takes. Spey and switch designs bring power, control and versatility for steelhead, salmon and larger rivers—built to cast long, load deep, and deliver big flies with ease.
When you shop for C.F. Burkheimer Rods here, you’re not just choosing a rod—you’re investing in a trusted partner on the water. With custom build options, premium components (select Flor-grade cork, nickel-silver reel seats, smoked Nanolite guides) and design refinements developed over years of field testing, you get more than specifications—you get performance that resonates.
