Woxnan Cane

Woxnan-Serien

I started to build cane rods 1989 after having read Garrisons book "A Master´s Guide to Building A Bamboo Fly Rod". I also wrote a computer code in FORTRAN (This was before the enter of the PC and Excel) where Garrisons formulas were implemented. I started to conduct experimental calculations with different types of stress curves and calculated a series of rods that satisfied my taste. This series I named Woxnan since I have trodden my first fishing trails along the banks of my beloved River Voxnan in the district of Hälsingland, Sweden. These rods remind of Garrison´s tapers but are a little bit longer in each class respectively, since I prefer longer rods. Please try to build your own Woxnan rod from these tapers!

  • Woxnan no ¼ (195) 5'6" #4, Holk 13/64"

  • Woxnan no 1 (199) 7'3" #4, Holk 13/64"

  • Woxnan no 1½ (203) 7'3" #4-5, Holk 13/64"

  • Woxnan no 2 (205) 7'6" #5, Holk 13/64"

  • Woxnan no 3 (208) 7'9" #5-6, Holk 13/64"

  • Woxnan no 3½ (210) 8' #5-6, Holk 14/64"

  • Woxnan no 4 (212) 8' #6, Holk 14/64"

  • Woxnan no 4E (214) 8' #6, Holk 14/64"

  • Woxnan no 4½ (214) 8' 3" #6, Holk 14/64"

  • Woxnan no 4½ E (216) 8'3" #6, Holk 14/64"

  • Woxnan no 5 (217) 8'3" #6 Holk 15/64"

    Here are some tapers that circulate among rod builders and which are measurings from famous rods.

  • Collorado 7´8" #5, Holk 15/64"

  • Long Cast 8´4" #6, Holk 16/64"

  • Power Plus 8´3" #6, Holk 16/64"

     

    Powell

    A Powell rod is also available. 8 foot 8 inch and an estimated class of #6:

  • Powell 8.8

     

    Leonard

    In addition this Leonard rod, 8 foot and class #4-5 I would dare to guess.

  • HL Leonard

     

    Experiment

    Salmo for tough battles. Two-handed salmon rod in three pieces for line #10.

  • Salmo 129 12' #9-10, Holkar 19/64", 30/64"

    Salmo 129

    Finally a rod that I have designed for my friend Ronny Jillebo, the most skillfull fly fisherman I´ve ever met, now living in Lofsdalen in the district of Härjedalen, Sweden.

  • RJ Special (220) 8´ #6-7, Tredelat, holkar 12/64", 17/64"

    This rod is based on the same stress curve as some of the Woxnan tapers and has aproximately similar character as the Woxnan No 6 but, as you can see, a three piece rod.
