All Good Things Must Come to an End
After twenty-five tears of rodmaking I am coming to the end of my journey. The decision was not an easy one and required a good deal of soul searching, but at 68 years old I have decided that it is time for Mary and me to take time for us and what is important in our lives. Leisure, family, travel, and a warmer more inviting winter climate will now take precedence.
This is not to say I will never make another rod, but I won't allow myself to be compelled to do so. I have noted rod blanks as "Temporarily Discontinued" and rods for sale as "Limited to Inventory on Hand". The web site will remain up and running for the foreseeable future until all aspects of Razing Kane are put to bed.
With all that said, Mary and I would like to give all our clients a hearty thank you. Your support and trust has meant a lot to us. Hopefully some of those sticks we put into the hands of our angling brothers and sisters will still be around when were gone. Rather though it would make us feel a lot better if most of them were fished to pieces.
So, in finishing, Mary and I would invite anyone interested to give a call and come by the rod room in 2026 to take a look at what we have left in stock. I do have several J Austin Forbes Reels and a couple custom Robin Costelle nets plus 8 or 10 rods left on the rack.
Once again, thanks to all and have a wonderful summer.
