Details

Butterworth

Len Butterworth began his rod-making business around 1939, working from a shed in the backyard of his home at Coorparoo, Brisbane. His first rods were made from Tonkin split cane. Butterworth recalls travelling on the Brisbane trams with the rods wrapped in newspaper under his arms to sell them to shops. An international shortage of bamboo after World War II forced rod-makers to trial fibreglass.
