They are good stuff, eh? ;-)  I have a Saracione Deluxe reel that came with a Mason hard leather case, and 6 Robichaud Traditional Trout reels that came with Mason draw string leather bags. All are way good.

Simply the best - bar none.

I recently ordered some custom size clam shell cases from Arne. When they arrived one of the cases was too small for my 5" Perfect style reel. I phoned Arne to see if we could remove some of the shearling and "make do". He immediately said that was not the right solution and made a new case, which arrived at my door 8 days later - it was a perfect fit.

The mark of a good business is not whether mistakes are made but how they are dealt with. Along with the superb quality of Arne's cases I must compliment him on his honest and forthright method of doing business.

Thanks and kudos Arne!

Bought one of those gorgeous cases for my Godfrey Salmon II. An awesome combination.

You either like cane fly rods - or you don't.

A few custom cases from Arne. He made these to order for some of my odd sized spey reels.

For a short time, Arne made some very nice soft hackle fly wallets. Very elegant.

His salmon fly wallets, including the large shearling stock box wallet, are beyond beautiful.
