Split Cane Rods from Classic Vintage Fishing Tackle

SPLIT CANE RODS

When Fosters retail shop closed in the summer of 2000. I decided to buy the name Fosters of Ashbourne incorporating Foster Bros. as I didn't want to see the name disappear.

The Following 4 rods were built for me by Fosters' last trained rod builder Stephen Woolley of Ashbourne.
