The Process

All Burkheimers are designed and built in a little shop in a little town along the banks of a very big river.

Some people might say that being a small shop is a disadvantage. Some might say that being the only company of our size to roll our own blanks is a liability.

We think it’s our strongest asset.

The five craftsmen in our shop bring a combined 100 years of rod-building experience to the table. Our attention to detail and finish quality borders on the obsessive. We love what we do, and we feel that our passion shows through in every aspect of our designs. We strive to make only truly exceptional fly rods, and we’re fiercely proud to be the company that we are.
