Short and sharp this rod is the best 5wt on the planet.
It felt different the moment i picked it up,like it was custom made. As my technique improves i’ll be back for another
Excellent rod, plenty of power in the rod and good fighting power. Great rod, lots of fun! I recommend getting the 5wt epic line, the two go hand in hand. Thanks a lot team for a great product!
According to @swiftflyfishing - their new Reference Series fly rods are ‘Built for the Backcountry’. Couldn’t think of a better place to apply this theory, so hit Tasmania’s Western Lakes - an alpine fly fishing heaven. I’d only cast the 590G a handful of times before coming up tight on a feisty brown that showed its back one too many times. A few trout later and a full day wandering the lagoons and yep, it’s built for that action. Light, responsive, comfy and a dream to cast. Even that matte finish is something that appeals to me and I’d have no hesitation in recommending these rods - they are a bloody ripper!!
This new rod is simply great. It continues the tradition of all the Epic rods I’ve used. I’ve yet to compare it directly with my earlier #5 weight Epic I but will do so sometime. However I can say they both perform superbly. Further I am delighted that if I should damage the rod in any way then a new part can be slotted in quickly and without having to send the rod away. I definitely recommend Epic to anyone who wants a new world class rod and the #5 weight in particular is a truly great all rounder.
