EPIC custom rods now available!

Post date: December 15, 2021

There is a wonderful company located in New Zealand (the home of "Big" trout) that is making some superb blanks. The brand is "EPIC."

Epic is owned by the SWIFT Fly Fishing company. These rods are truly rods built to catch fish. EPIC graphene rods are lighter than the newest SAGE blanks and are simply a delight to fish. These graphene rods are available in 5 and 6 weights and are 9' four piece models. They incorporate graphene nanotechnology blanks that are simply amazing. EPIC rods are now our number one seller! I would classify them as being a hair faster than medium-fast but not quite as fast as the new SAGE R8 CORE. We try to keep both the 5 and 6 weight blanks in stock at all times. It normally takes less than two weeks for us to obtain EPIC blanks if we do not have the one that you want in stock.

EPIC also makes wonderful "FAST GLASS" fiberglass rods. These blanks are simply lovely! Many fly casters that test rods at our shop end up favoring these fiberglass rods over the SAGE, LOOP, and other graphite rods when tested side by side. The owner of our shop carries a 4 weight fiberglass 5-piece EPIC rod when he travels on his motorcycle. The rod fits in a 21" case and packs easily in his saddlebag.

We make EPIC fiberglass trout rods in 3 through 6 weight. These rods are very strong and we cannot imagine them ever breaking on a fish. Please call or email with any questions.
