Sweetgrass Mantra Rods
I have been working in Butte, Montana for the last few weeks which has given me a chance to reconnect with Glenn Brackett, former owner of Winston and now owner of Sweetgrass there in Twin Bridges. The booboys are now offering a mid-range bamboo rod called the Mantra which is half the price of the Sweetgrass. It is available in all sizes and in fact is available in a travel size of a 4 piece. Rods cost $895 although the 4 piece is $1200. Major difference in the $2500 Sweetgrass rod and the Mantra is cosmetics. Not the same high end hardware but I am able to forego looking upscale for the price. You can contact them directly for what is available immediately or place your order. Glenn, Jerry, and Dave will work their tails off to make sure you are happy. I have been most fortunate to spend some good time there and have Glenn show me his fave spots on the Big Hole, Jefferson, Ruby, and Beaverhead. I am in love with this place. Tight line.....on bamboo!
