The PEZON & MICHEL manufacture was founded in 1860 in Amboise, France, by Gustave Pezon. His heirs, Pezon and Michel, have through the years, made it a must-visit factory for fishermen. The PEZON & MICHEL brand became, between the 40s and 50s, the world's number one manufacturer of split bamboo fishing rods. The two fishing enthusiasts, Charles Ritz and Ernest Hemingway, have been famous users and ambassadors of the PEZON & MICHEL brand. It can be said that collectors and fishing fanatics know well the value of the split bamboo rods signed PEZON & MICHEL. Initially specializing in the design of fly rods, the PEZON & MICHEL brand modernized to develop its fishing gear catalog but retains this glorious past. In addition to its fishing rods of impeccable quality, the brand offers lures, spoons, reels, and so much more. The PEZON & MICHEL brand is made for all fishermen with a passion for nature!
