Thread: Gatti person

  1. #1

    Default Gatti person

    My son has a Gatti and would like another however he got burned by the person who assembled the blanks for him so is looking for another rod maker to assemble one.

    Does anyone have a recommendation?

    He is on the East coast but of course could ship anywhere.

    There is a rod builder in Portland named Christian Brink that has gotten great reviews from people he's done work for. At one time was an authorized Gatti dealer and built on Gatti blanks. You might check him out. Here's a link:

    I was planning on selling a few, mine are all factory built in mint condition. Let me know what he is looking for, I'm selling (3) 5wt rods.
    The man who coined the phrase "Money can't buy happiness", never bought himself a good fly rod!

    ducksterman - here's a shameless plug for one of our own members - and he's East coast.

    Randy Emerich (bigdadyrods here on FAOL) has built some of the most beautiful rods I've ever seen on Gatti blanks. He has a couple Gattis that he uses himself, and they're just unbelievably beautiful. His level of craftsmanship can't be beat. Here's his website:

    I understand he has just now started building full time and perhaps can take care of your order quickly?
