Cane and silk glass rods

Post by Terrestrial12 » Thu Oct 20, 2022 7:22 am

So someone from the group mentioned glass rods by a guy under the brand cane and silk. I found his page and they look amazing with a cheap price. Read reviews and everyone who ordered one had nothing but good things to say about them. I'm ready to pull the trigger but his website is very primitive and I can't find any contact information or social media presence. Would anybody here know how to get ahold of the guy? Thanks!

Same here. Looking for contact info to order another new rod. Any help out there?

That’s my first find.

You could also try to contact the owner through his FB page : https://www.facebook.com/mike.kattner.16

FWIW, I bought one of his cane rods seven or eight years ago. It's one of the few rods that I regret having wasted the money on. The cane itself was cosmetically awful, as was the fit and finish, and it was a dog to cast. I can't speak about the glass rods, YMMV.

Yeah I haven't read anything about his bamboo rods and I honestly don't know much about them but if I was going to spring for one I would save till I could afford a reputable model. I have read several stellar reviews about the glass tho. We'll see I suppose.
