J.S. Sharpe’s of Aberdeen, makers of the famous ‘Scottie’ range of split cane fly rods, were established in 1920 and manufactured under their own name until 1971 when they were taken over by Farlows. They continued to manufacture under the Farlows name until the late 1970’s. They are still trading today, back under the name of Sharpe’s of Aberdeen and still manufacturing for the likes of Orvis.
