How It Works • If you would like to buy an item, or to inquire about an item, please call 541.408.1564 or email us at dvarden1903@gmail.com. We do not have a “shopping cart” because we think that our clients deserve personal service. • CFT ships to the US and Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Other countries are available by request. Postage in the US for most reels is about $7 and for most rods, about $20. We will calculate the precise postage. Payment by VISA, check, money order, cash, or PayPal is fine.
How It Works • We are located in Bend, Oregon, and our state does not have sales tax. Some online businesses are collecting sales tax and some are not. Seems a little confusing right now. We will not collect sales tax on any transactions for the foreseeable future. • Items are fully returnable for the purchase price provided that we receive them back in good condition.
Our collection • Flies • Reels • Rods • Fly Boxes • Creels & Cases • Mason Reel Cases • Books

Distinctive Hard Leather Cases • Fly fishing historian and tackle dealer Martin J. Keane once commented that leather cases delight our senses three ways-- with their attractive appearance, their pleasant aroma, and their solid, reassuring feel. We might want to add that they are also practical means of protecting our rods and reels. • Leather was widely used for protective cases on all kind of items, so it was a logical choice for reel makers. However, some reel makers chose other materials. Charles F. Orvis, for example, sold their early fly reels with beautifully fitted wooden cases made from walnut.
In the last half of the 20th century, leather artisans made hard leather reel cases in a pleasing variety of designs. Some stuck close to the traditional 19th century shapes, while others tried new ideas. Some reel makers offered their products with proprietary hard leather cases showing excellent craftsmanship. A few leather workers offered cases incorporating figural paintings and carvings on the leather. In more recent years, as older leather workers have reached retirement age, retailers and reel makers are arranging for leather cases to be made off shore.
