The whole process has been a pleasure and my 590 is truly a wonderful fly rod. Perfectly made, flawless wraps, the best cork I have ever seen and so light in the hand and easy to cast. You really don’t appreciate all this until you see and it cast it against a Sage or Scott or even a Winston -the entire build is a cut above and this fly rod is the sweetest casting rod of the lot.
Smooth, loads short, loads long, has a surprising amount of power and is featherlight and absolutely stunning! No better rod made in my book, happy I found you!
The 590 is absolutely world-class. Light, responsive, smooth, and crisp - this rod is a true pleasure to fish. The build quality is outstanding - it's readily apparent the Swift Fly Fishing team accept nothing short of perfection.

Break a tip? we've got you covered.
Our Surefit™ ferrule system is so precise that breakages can be addressed by simply sending out the replacement part. Gone are the days of having to return a broken section and waiting weeks for a return.
Internal High Strength Ferrule.
A high strength internal ferrule is placed at each join to provide superior crush and split resistance.
*SureFit features on Epic fly rods and fly rod blanks
Our Snakebelly™ semi sanded finish delivers the toughest exterior finish possible. After production, blanks are first semi sanded, painted and then clear coated.
This two step process produces blanks with a very precise action (just as we designed them) and with a finish that is incredibly scratch resistant and durable.
