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 Silk Wrapping Thread Review

05/23/2018

Great thread!!!

This silk thread wraps easily and comes in some great colors. I’ve used the natural, blue, dark green and charteuse. The natural can be completely clear if you desire. The other colors look great translucent, or they also respond very well to color preserver. I’ve built a couple rods using the rod building kits and would use this silk thread for future builds as well

Building the 480 Carbon

Very good kit. I am always skeptical that there are enough supplies to finish the project. No skimping here, well thought out for the beginner for builder.

Third Epic rod build

Overall experience dealing with Swift Fly Fishing Co has been excellent. This is now my third Epic glass fly rod build . First purchase was a blank only and the next two purchases were rod building kits. The rod building kits were supplied with very precise instructions which made the whole process very simple and enjoyable. The first two blanks were sent very quickly whereas the third blank was a bit slow being sent but the actual shipping time was very good. Some of the feet on the snake guides needed re filing but this was not a big issue. The Epic metal reel seat holds all of my reels very securely. The other Epic reel seat with the fibreglass insert is also excellent however I placed masking tape shims under the insert which show through the glass insert. This is also not a big deal but wish had realised before glueing. As already stated, the instructions that come with the kits are excellent. The only thing that it didn’t cover was how to do the very thin trim wraps like on the factory builds. And yes, I would buy another Epic blank.
