Arne Mason
The Finest Traditional & Contemporary Leather Cases Since 1972
Time and time again, the fly fisher's search for the finest hard leather cases ends with Arne Mason of Ashland Oregon. Influenced by both traditional European hand stitching and western saddlery techniques, Mason has developed a distinct personal style. Characterized by tasteful classic designs and uncompromisingly clean, hand mitered French edges, Mason's work continues to set the standard by which the fly-fishing industry's leather work is measured. His leather is the finest grade A English Bridle tanned in the USA. English Bridle is the most durable leather, the interior is hot-stuffed with natural oils and the surface is waxed, making it the traditional choice for outdoor use.
Guarantee
All cases are unconditionally guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship
Rod Cases
The ultimate case to protect and present your fine flyrod
All cases are individually made to fit your rod
We pre-fit the leather to the tube and trim the side seam almost flush to give the case the slimmest possible profile. The top and bottom are hand sewn with a "French edge" stitch across an all but invisible seam. The result is a uniquely clean and finished look.
The buckle is solid brass, and because buckle straps endure the most wear from bending and pulling, we laminate two layers of topgrain for maximum strength. A soft foam base on the inside top and bottom cushions delicate tips.
Personalization by name, rod weight, length or serial number is available.
