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.

Superb viewing

The only drawback is knowing that it is unlikely that I will be allowed to visit this year. Mike is one of the best makers of fly fishing films. I always learn something new. Great fun trying to work out where they are fishing. Thanks!!

Beech Mast years

Beautifully filmed, and very entertaining. Everyone knows (or should) of Beech Mast years, where a high beech flowering results in a boom in seeds and food in the forest, with a resulting rise in rats and mice - who knew trout ate mice!

Great watch

Some great scenery on show with some excellent fishing in remote NZ. I have a good idea now how to chase trout on a mouse.

All is perfect!

Visit Epic was an amazing experience. It is a well-cared website and very attentive to the client. It has been very generous of you to have those videos. It is difficult but I would be pleased someday to be able to travel and enjoy its products and fishing in New Zealand. Thank you
