That would be Leon Hansen.
From what I know he was and maybe still is building rods. I think he was a wood shop teacher in Plymouth, Mi schools. He was building years ago before the bamboo resugance took off. I have some friends who build. I'll ask if they see Leon around the bamboo circles. I think he still lives in hte Plymouth area.

There are several Hansons, possibly related, that have built rods. Do a Google search for "bamboo rod Hanson".
