J. A. Henry Rod & Reel Co. is a small Michigan business founded by craftsmen. We are the proud developer of the Two-Hearted Fly Rod and we are passionate about the rich heritage of fly fishing. One of our central missions is to support Trout Unlimited and their efforts to conserve and protect our cold water fisheries.
My name is Andrew Mitchell, owner of J.A.Henry Rod & Reel Company. I am an avid fly fisherman, woodworker and rod-builder. Our workshop is located in Cannonsburg, Michigan and I have been selling hand-crafted products and fly rods online for years.
J. A. Henry Rod & Reel Co. was started in 2020. It’s named after my son’s initials (Jack and Andrew) and Henry, our yellow lab. Rod making and wood-working is a labor of love. I design and assemble just a handful of rods, cases and other hand-crafted items each month with no immediate plans to expand. The best thing about operating a small business is that the important things like creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail is not compromised.
I grew up in Michigan, fishing the smaller rivers and streams of Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. The upper Two-Hearted and East Branch of the Fox are two of my favorites. I went to school in Colorado and quickly discovered the challenge of fishing high-altitude Cutthroats and Goldens in the summertime with my trusty Sage 2wt. And in the fall, the un-named glacial streams would produce some of the most vibrant fall Brookies I’ve ever seen.
I am an audio engineer by trade and opened the Audio Bay Mastering Studio in Rockford, MI in 1999.
