John Clancy 60/40 rod
#1Does anyone have experience or familiarity with 60/40 bamboo rods made by John Clancy? I am interested in his quality and reputation as a builder. Specifically the 7 ‘ 9” 5 wt. rod. I have searched the net and the forum but could not find much. Apparently his web site is down and I have tried to message him. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

#2No experience, but I remembered something about a name change so I did a search: viewtopic.php?f=93&t=131844

#3That is the website that John Clancy mentioned in his Classic Fly Rod Forum post (he is a member of the forum) when someone asked about his rods, several years ago. When I tried the website it appears to be inactive. I also tried to message him on the Forum, but no response.

#4Don't know anything about the web site. I have one of his Dickerson 8014 clones. It's very well made, finish is quite nice and it fishes great. I'll look and see if I have any more info.

#6Hi John, I do not know you or your rods, but it looks like your absence from rod making has been pretty tough. Hope things turn around for you. The photos of your rods on your website look fantastic.
Glad you are back at making rods, good luck in 2024 and beyond.
Tight Lines!
Alex
