Custom Rod Production Schedule

The current delay in placing a custom rod into production is now averaging approximately 40 business days, if blanks are available from the factory. SAGE blanks are not available at this time. The delay has been due to the draconian work limitations placed on them by the incompetent Washington Governor during the Covid outbreak and beyond. If you want a rod in the not too distant future, now is the time to order an EPIC rod or a factory made SAGE rod. They are superb. Of course, factory rods are normally available in just a day or two, even if we don't have them in stock. We are located only one day freight from the SAGE factory!

Here are the results of the first day that our staff fished with two new custom 6 weight and 5 weight Lord of the Streams custom rods. Words cannot describe how happy we were with their performance on big trout!

This large trout was caught on a size 16 chironomid. The hook did not bend, the tippet was protected and the fish was controlled. This was with a 9' 6 weight, 4 piece using 4X tippet.

Casting the rod was a dream whether chucking streamers or chironomids under a strike indicator. I opted to use the 9' 6 weight four piece.

The 5 weight could have handled this fish as well.

My son caught this large trout using a 5 weight 9' rod while throwing a large streamer with a 3X tippet. Of course his fish was larger than mine.

Many Factory rods from SAGE and Remington are available now for rapid delivery. Custom rods made on blanks from EPIC are now ready to order in your desired specifications.
