Kerry Burkheimer is here to share the story of how he built one of the most respected custom fly rods companies in the country. Kerry takes us back to some of the influential mentors he had along the way that helped him to develop some of his first prototypes. We also hear about how the Spey rod came to be with his connection to the Deschutes River.
Kerry explains the "pre-load concept" - how he makes the whole rod work and the so-called "Burky feel" for fly rods! This one is a little history and a lot of soul so you better take a break for a quick listen!
