OUR IDEA OF A FLY ROD

Our Idea of a Fly Rod

Over some 30 years of fly fishing and many hours spent with anglers and casting students, we came to realise that certain important aspects of fly casting and fly fishing were being overlooked - and that the cane & glass guys had known it all along.

Fast and stiff are not always the most desirable traits in a fly rod, and fuller flexing rods can not only be more fun to fish with, they help protect light tippets and are much kinder to fish, and fly anglers.

The Materials

Epic fly rods are made to exacting standards using either a proprietary S2-glass composite or a multi modulus, helical constructed low resign Carbon Fibre system.
Although fast for fiberglass, our fuller flexing FastGlass blanks have a beautiful soulful feeling and are incredibly tough.

Our Carbon Fibre blanks are light, crisp and at the very forefront of fly rod design.

Each material features a unidirectional fibre layup which aligns fibers longitudinally along the blank. The result is an incredibly strong, light and powerful tube with a crisp, precise response. This recipe, rolled to our Epic tapers combine silky smooth easy loading with trophy pulling power.

Regardless of the material you decide to choose, you have before you what we sincerely believe is the very best fly rod produced.

All jargon aside, these fly rods are just fantastic to cast, they look incredible, are super tough, and are a hell of a lot of fun to fish with.

The Swift Fly Fishing Company Epic Fly Rod Turner & Drying Motor Review

11/18/2021

Must have for rod building

Great product - a combined effort by Epic and C&F Design, it had to be good, and it is. I tried to epoxy on a rod section without turning it and it came out pretty messy so this turner is what you need. The only thing I would change is to add instructions to insert the batteries.

Awesome help and product

I couldn't speak any higher about my experience with the Swift team, replaced the faulty drying unit without question, the epic rod build was incredible experience, so satisfying, if you are thinking of doing a rod build then Epic, from Swift is a great choice. Thanks again to the team at Swift for all the advice and quick email responses. Will be doing more builds in the future. Cheers Mike

ROD, REEL, LINE AND ROD TURNER

Thanks to everyone at Epic. I have been dreaming of getting some Epic gear, so when the opportunity arose, I went for it. I bought a Rod turner, a 686 Ready to wrap kit. A Backcountry 5/6 Reel and Glass 6wt Fly line. Very very happy with the service, I thought I'd be cheeky and request the Fly line be Spooled for me. Adam had no hesitation and did not charge for the service and the backing line. These guys are amazing. Best service ever. The products are fantastic and I am loving using the rod and reel now I have finished making it. Cheers guys for everything. You rock.

Epic Turner

This turner does the job, plain and simple. Niec to not need to get the turner near a power outlet and is light and easy to move. The various "chuck inserts" were very handy. Would buy again.

A delightful reassurance.

This made the final stages of wrapping my Epic 3wt an absolute breeze. After applying the epoxy to the wraps I could set each piece of the rod into the turner with the peace of mind that the wraps would turn out perfect. With a 72 hour battery life I could also go to bed and know that I could sleep soundly as the rod turned at a perfect 12rpm. I couldn't be happier with the result.
