Jennifer Olsson's Split-Cane Signature Rods are built in three pieces to accommodate air and land travel needs. The rods are aesthetically pleasing; flame treated to a beautiful honey-brown color, with truncated nickel silver ferrules, burgundy wraps, a western style cork grip with rosewood spacer. The reel seat is a Catskill HLL style with a downlocking nickel-silver, straight knurled slide band, butt cap and cork check (also known as the Leonard style reel seat). Every rod comes with a custom rod sock sewn by Jennifer. The rod tube is brushed aluminum fitted with a brass cap (length –34") and is covered in a black canvas sock with stitched logo. The Jennifer Olsson Split-Cane Signature Rods along with the rod builder, Carl Anderberg, were featured in the book, Splitting Cane, by Ed Engle, Stackpole Books 2002, and were favorably reviewed in Fly Rod & Reel Magazine, July/August 2000.
We recommend Scientific Anglers DT lines (Ultra 4 & Trout) for all our fly rods.


The Mayfly
7´9” • # 4 • Three Piece • Two Tips
The Mayfly is the lightest rod weight in the series. Medium-fast with a long – progressive action, is suitable on spring creeks as well as larger rivers. Handles well in short to medium range distances. Perfect with small and medium sized flies. Delicate responsive rod for accurate presentations.

The Midsummer
7´9” • # 5 • Three Piece • Two Tips
The Midsummer has a long progressive action, a nice even bend from grip to tip, and casts with a medium-fast action. A fantastic rod in the five-weight class. Covers short to medium range distances, has been put to the test on spring creeks and western rivers. This rod was named in honor of the Swedish national holiday that takes place each June – a time when the grayling are particularly active in Idsjöströmmen.

The 4th-of-July
8´ • # 6 • Three-piece • Two tips
The 4th-of-July is the big sister to The Mayfly and The Midsummer. Casts well in short-medium to long ranges. A powerful progressive action, fast and responsive. Unloads line smoothly and with force. This rod handles heavier flies, wind, and bigger water with ease.

The Castilleja
8´ • # 6 • Three Piece • Two tips
The Castilleja is built with a true parabolic taper, allowing the rod to arc deeply into the butt section. Medium-fast action, smooth powerful action and roll casts like a dream. This rod was designed with deep nymph fishing in mind. It lifts long line easily. Named after Jennifer's favorite wild flower found in the high mountain meadows of Montana (the common name for Castilleja Linariaefolia is: Indian Paintbrush).

The River Keeper
8´6” • # 6 • Three Piece • Two Tips
The River Keeper is the longest rod in the series. It features a powerful progressive action. The length of this rod does not compromise ease of use. It is well balanced, lifts long line easily, and handles long reach mends flawlessly. Works well at short distances too. (Rod tube – 36")
