Reference 6wt 690G Carbon Fiber Fly Rod

• Product Details

  The Versatile All-rounder.  The 690G Reference Graphene Fly Rod.

  Utilizing the same industry-leading blank & high-quality components as our Studio Built™ custom collection but without the customisation options, the new 690G (Graphene) Reference takes it up another notch.

  The 690G is the perfect streamer slinger and excels at throwing large terrestrials, buggers and weighted nymphs.

  Surprisingly light, tight and super stealthy in our low sheen matt finish, they won't see you coming. 

  You'll be amazed at how light and accurate this fly rod is, helping you form some of the smoothest loops you've ever experienced. The Epic® 690G is a light and highly responsive fly rod designed as ‘the great all-rounder’. Dries, big terrestrials, weighted nymphs, streamers, woolly buggers and light saltwater work - the 690G is designed to handle it all.

  Exquisitely presented and built to last using our flawless FLOR grade cork grips, a rust-proof Fuji titanium 'Tangle Free' stripping guide, industry-leading smooth casting blank and the worlds most beautiful and functional patented Epic® Tri reel seat. All topped off with translucent smoke grey wraps and subtle red accents.

  Super stealthy in our non-reflective satin SnakeBelly™ finish, the 690G utilises industry-leading Graphene nano resins to help create a lighter, stronger more responsive carbon fiber (graphite) fly rod.

  The Epic Promise. Buy with Confidence: 
  100% Satisfaction Guarantee, Epic Lifetime Warranty & our "Love it or Return it" 30 day guarantee. Shipping immediately - delivered direct to your door.

  • 100%  Carbon Construction.
    The carbon helix core boasts true 100% carbon construction. These blanks contain no scrim.
  • 100% Uni-directional material - Non-Woven.
    Super light-weight construction and superior strength. Non woven Uni-directional material is up to 40% stronger than traditional woven material commonly used by fly rod manufacturers.  A non-woven fiber can achieve 100% of its tensile and compressive loading. Unidirectional material affords super lightweight construction and superior strength.
  • 100% Carbon Helix Core.
    The helical core forms the basis for hoop strength and fibre support in the zero/longitudinal axis and does away with traditional scrim based construction. 
  • Silica-nano technology / Super Low Resin Systems.
    Utilising materials with resin content up to 30% less than conventional materials, Epic C series blanks are lighter and stronger. Low resin materials help increase bending limits & overall response.
  • Multi Carbon Construction (Multi modulus).
    Using only the highest quality fabrics from the USA, Japan and Korea, up to five different types of carbon are used in each blank. Each type is placed at various parts of the blank to optimize strength and weight. Ultra-high modulus fibre boasts the highest tensile and compressive strength of any fibre in its class.
  • Internal High Strength Ferrule.
    A high strength internal ferrule is placed at each join to provide superior crush and split resistance. 
  • Target Zero Fibre Alignment.
    Fibre alignment along the length of any blank is critical. Even the smallest deviation in fibre alignment from the axis of load will greatly reduce the strength of the blank.
