Welcome to Woolleys of Ashbourne, maker of fine quality split cane fly and coarse fishing rods.



Why choose split cane, the question must be asked, when there are so many rods on the market made from carbon fiber? 



The quite simple explanation is the fact that split cane provides the angler with a level of touch and delicacy that no carbon fiber rod could ever offer. 



For rivers, streams and brooks split cane has been used for centuries by the enthusiast and the professional alike. It allows the angler to curl the line most delicately into the tightest of spots with a softness of presentation second to none.

​

The quality of cast and feel is unrivaled, and the aesthetic beauty of the humble cane rod is something most unique.
