"I'm unsure which is better - the Epic fly rods or the Epic Service. Both are unmatched!
Steven T.Got a studio built and loved it. Hit it in the back of the ferrule with a closer cracking it. The new tip section I ordered is spot on and was the easiest and best rod repair that I have ever had done. Read More

7The stunning studio built 888 fly rod bundled together with the 7/8 Backcountry fly reel *does not include fly line
Our mighty 888 was designed specifically for chasing Bonefish but is just at home wrangling large freshwater species like Carp, Pike and monster Muskie too. Given there’s not a flat where the wind doesn’t blow we’ve given the 888 an extra powerful butt section, strong tip and fast recovery rate to help punch a line out into those skinny water breezes. Exquisitely handcrafted to order.

S2 FastGlass™ - not your papa’s fiberglass fly rod
Epic™ blanks are made to exacting standards using a proprietary Unidirectional S2-glass composite. Unlike other fiberglass fly rods, this material features a fully unidirectional fibre layup which aligns fibres longitudinally along the blank where they are most needed. This recipe, rolled to our Epic tapers combine silky smooth loading with trophy pulling power that we call FastGlass™. The result is an incredibly strong, light and powerful tube with a crisp, precise response.
Hand crafted one at a time.
Each Epic fly rod is specifically hand made for you as it is ordered. Please allow two to three weeks for us to do an Epic job for you. We’ll be in touch with a build time and shipping details as soon as we receive your order.
