C.F. Burkheimer Rods are made to order with the utmost attention to quality and perfection. While we may have a couple of Burkheimer rods in stock at any one time it would be best to plan on a special order of the rod you want. Special order Burkheimer rods may take up to 12 weeks. Its not up to us to determine how long a special order rod may take. We are at the mercy of C.F. Burkheimer when it comes to how long will it take. So plan on waiting. If you have a time line of need for a rod I would strongly suggest you consider something available...Please don't be in a hurry for a Burkheimer rod. Kerry and his master builders live by the motto "One of a kind, one at a time" meaning no mass production. I think that pretty much sums it up!
Some people say steelhead anglers are the most dedicated, hard-core, and adaptable fisherman on the planet. We just think they're the craziest. We should know, because steelhead are what we do.
We're surrounded on all sides by some of the most storied steelhead waters in the world, and we know what it take to make the cast. Because when you've left work early, or floated 12 miles, or flown 1200, just to put yourself 65 feet from a chrome buck that just slid into a tailout, the rod needs to perform. So hitch that Bomber, take one more step, and send a tight one to the far bank.
The Deep Action Load (DAL) series of rods were designed for angler's who prefers a more relaxed stroke. These rods offer full flexing blanks, firm tips and fast recovery.
