Quality Lead
Sujata Almy
In her role as Quality Lead, Sujata is responsible for ensuring that every Helios™, Recon®, Mission, Superfine® Glass, and bamboo rod that leaves the shop is perfect.

Rod Repair
Connor Berry
A lifelong angler, Rod Repair Specialist Connor Berry commutes 45 minutes to the rod shop, arriving by 6 a.m. When he isn’t working, he’s chasing trout on rivers near his home with his beloved 3-weight Helios 3. His favorite task is restoring older rods, bringing them back to life, so they can perform on the water for many more years.
