ULTIMATE RODS
Exquisite quality – hand-crafted in Australia
Loris Shahoomian is far more than an
outstanding rod-builder; he is a craftsman with
exacting standards and a passion for excellence.
His Sydney-based Ultimate Rods workshop
produces hand-made rods that gleam with a
meticulous, multi-coat, diamond-like finish.
The workmanship is guaranteed for life.
Loris will tailor individual rods to suit your personalised styling and
colours. Or pick up your new rod today from his readymade range of
Bluewater Tournament gamefishing rods.
Bluewater Tournament series rods are available to suit line-classes from
10kg to 37kg, with other sizes by special order. On each rod, the tailor-
made carbon fibre or E-glass composite blank’s backbone is carefully
aligned before a waterproof leather foregrip is cemented in place over a
machined, flexible grip base. The AFTCO or Winthrop roller guides are
underbound and then triple-overbound in the finest thread – each layer
carefully epoxied and dried before progressing to the next layer of binding, followed by three layers
of slow-cured finish coat. This creates an incredibly secure, flexible, non-fading and long-lasting wrap
that will not crack under the strain of battle – as happens with other rods.
Quality like this – if you could find it – could justify an exorbitant price, but after 25 years in the
business, Loris has refined the production of Ultimate Rods to achieve stunningly low prices.
