Six years ago, I set up my micro-enterprise in Brassac-les-Mines, in the Puy-de-Dôme region near the Haute-Loire. A fisherman from an early age, it was by chance that I discovered my passion for rod building, after a trip to Spain. That's how I built my first rod, then the second, the third...

Today, I specialize in custom rod building, whether for spinning, casting or fly assemblies, for freshwater or saltwater. I'll work with you throughout the rod design process, selecting the best components from the Rodhouse site to achieve the perfect compromise between performance and quality.

I also offer customization, repair and modification services for your existing rods: change of Guides, handle, cork, etc.

Please visit my Facebook page to see some of my work. My favorite kind of fishing? Zander in boats on dam lakes in Auvergne.
