Highland Mills Original Series

Highland Mills Rod Co. was born of a desire to bring to market a consistently high quality bamboo rod that casts beautifully, looks and feels good, and is reasonably priced.

Good cane rods have become very expensive, out of the reach of many enthusiasts. Thanks to Highland Mills, you can now enjoy the pleasures and benefits of a beautiful bamboo rod for less than the cost of a decent graphite rod. From a 3 weight wand to a 6 weight cannon, we have a rod that is right for the flies, water, and style of your fishing.

All Highland Mills rods offer crisp actions, thus allowing a seamless transition from casting graphite.

    3 Weight Rods:
    Our short 6’9” 7’0” and 7’2” rods that cast a 3 weight line are perfect for tiny flies (#16 to 28), fishing close in or fishing where there is no appreciable wind. These rods will deliver a great fight from a small fish, yet they’re quite capable of landing the unexpected lunker.
    The solid construction of the tip of a bamboo rod allows it to take more flex and strain than a tubular graphite rod without the tendency to explode. In other words, the tips of even a delicate 3 weight cane rod can take a beating.
