I saw the same segment you saw. It was T&T. There is so many independent rod builders out there it would make you head swim. I wasn't impressed with the way T&T built theirs for the money that they charge for them. I'd go to an independent builder for another cane rod. Chris Carlin, Bill Oyster, Ron Kuss, R. L. Nunley, Harry Boyd, and dozens more. Less money than most bigger rod companies and better built. They make them to order. It takes more than a week to do a good job. You pay half up front and wait for about a year for your rod. That's real craftsmanship. These guys don't build them to to put on a shelf in a fly fishing shop.
Thud, I agee with you on the fiberglass. 99% of my fishing is with glass. Check out my latest build I just finished.
