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.

Stroft Tapered Leader 9ft

These are awesome leaders. The 9ft, 9lb version doesn't kink and rolls out perfectly even with heavier nymphs. They're a little dearer than some others but worth it.

Quality Leaders

I have been using these for a few seasons now. they are supple yet strong enough to handle big wind and big fish! I use with the Stroft ABR tippet and find the knot strength excellent. do not settle for anything less than the best!
