About Oliver’s of Knebworth:
A respected name among traditionalists, Oliver’s of Knebworth earned a loyal following in the mid-to-late 20th century for their high-quality hand-built rods. Known for their attention to detail, elegant finish, and excellent fishing performance, Oliver’s rods were crafted using classic split cane methods and remain highly regarded today among collectors and coarse fishing enthusiasts.
