I just received my new polished and hardened steel cleaning rods. The workmanship is great. No more dirty, embedded, plastic rods for me. Denny Phillips knows what he is doing and is great to deal with.

Ivy rods

I will second that, I just recieved my third yesterday. They are definately superior workmanship.

Ivey Rods

I used the originals since about 1980, and the last year or so the last generation of rods before Clarence Ivey turned things over to Denny. I have nothing but good things to say about these rods, and understand Denny has made improvements. Can't go wrong here guys.

I have 3 Of Denny's rods too and between therm and Neil Jones rods there is no reason to own any others.

Is this the guy who turns the jag right on the rod? Or, what is the name of the rods Kelbly sells?

Francis, the solid stainless rod that Kelblys sells is a Treso, Camp Perry II model. Greg Wally turns the jag on the rod. He was putting a sharpened piece of piano wire in the end for a spear. Last year he told me he was now turning the spear integral to the rod like a Dewey, Pro Shot, etc.

These rods are made where the chicken truck wrecked in the old country song, Pagosa Springs, CO. (Just down the road from Wolf Creek Pass on US 160. I'm sure you've been there many times.)
 
Rods

Clarence Ivey began making uncoated, stainless rods back in the 80s, and machined the jag on the rod. He produced a sister rod threaded for brushes. His rods went through several improvements over the years before he turned it all over to Denny. At his age (83?) he just didn't want production pressure any longer. Clarence is the guy who produced rods that Calfee wrote about. He made some blank rods for Calfee to slug barrells.

I haven't seen Denny's rods, but I use the last generation of rods that Clarence produced. Mine are 42 inches, integral jag on one, and the other tapped for brushes. He even machined a ferral(sp?) on them so they would fit the Sinclair rod holders I had. I now use the Ivey(last Clarence) in 22 cal. and keep the Dewey rods for back up.
