Since I began building rods for commercial sale in 2005 I have had overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many of my customers coming back for additional rods. Nearly all of these rods owners are telling me they are recommending my rods to all their fly fishing friends, and I've had several sales just from that. Locally based fly fishing guide
Jeff Wilkins has three of my rods being used in his guiding business, and that has also led to several more sales. I have sold 5 rods at streamside just by allowing other anglers the chance to cast one of them. My motto is "Try me and you will want to buy me", and so far it has held pretty well true.

Here's what some of our customers have had to say:
Cecil,
Just a note to let you know that I really enjoy the rod you built for me. It performs as well as commercial rod I own that cost twice as much. It is a great looking and casting rod.....

Dear Cecil,
The new 8.5ft 5wt is a great rod. Its very powerful, smooth, and accurate. You have a knack for building fly rods that feel great to cast and perform at both short and long distances. Also, the 7ft 3wt has become my favorite because it is so versatile. I have paid a lot more for a rod that performs a lot less....
-Mark Bishop, Cary, NC
Cecil,
The 7ft 3wt Middle Creek rod is one of the finest rods I have fished. It is a great rod, my favorite is the 8 foot 4pc 5 weight Big Creek. It is the finest 8' ft 5wt rod that I have fished regardless of price, and that is said with a closet full of Sages, Scotts, and so forth. It is truly a great rod.....

Mr. Chapman,
here are some pictures I took this past weekend on the Nantahala. The 8ft 5 weight rod is awesome. I caught 12 fish in less than an hour....! I am very pleased with the rod and wanted to share some of the results with you! I will be calling you soon to order that 3 wt we were talking about. Thank you for a great rod. You'll have to come to WNC and fish with me and my friends......
