1980
Born from obsession and built to hand down.
Since 1980 Steffen Brothers has invested thousands of hours in testing materials and zeroing in on the mathematical tapers, spigoted ferrules, and other signature features that drive performance. We build each rod by hand in the U.S. with American-made fiberglass, graphite, and components.
Blanks hand-rolled and built in USA. Proprietary Steffen Bros Tapers, including unique ferrule tech. Original Uni S glass and Modern Classic graphite models available.
