Small Stream Fiberglass Fly Rods

 

"Klassic" Glass Small Stream E-Glass Rods

These are Asian blanks with a smooth progressive glass action having a quick response and little tip bounce.  They cast the line weight they are rated for.  Ferrules are spigots and I personally inspect and “tune” them for proper fit.  The rods are packaged in a cotton bag and encased in a black ABS tube.  They are available in colors: melon orange, or white (clear).  All rods are $250.

"Rod got here yesterday.  Looks absolutely perfect!  And I really like the action.  Much softer tip and more progressive than the rod I'm replacing.  It can actually cast a 2weight line, and do it with the ease that glass should." A satisfied Customer



My build uses a hand-turned AAAA quality cork grip, and a highly functional up-locking reel seat.  I use chromed stainless steel snake guides and a chromed wire stripper with wraps of brown silk with beige tipping.  The wraps are coated with uv-resistant low-build epoxy for long life.  I pack my “Klassic Glass” in a cotton rod bag within a black abs shipping tube that doubles as an indestructible rod case you can just toss into your car. 

 The color is "melon orange" 

Also offered in white with clear wraps and contrasting tipping



 

 My Black Small Stream E-Glass Fly Rods

 


  

Since 2012, I have offered a popular series of e-glass short, small stream rods that are built on Batson Forecast black-finished SPG fiberglass blanks.  Batson sells the blanks as 1 piece spinning rod blanks, but the models I choose make excellent short fly rods.  I am currently offering my small stream fly rods 1 piece.  These are designed to handle 4, 5, and 6 weight lines depending on the casting styles of the user.  Rod lengths are 4'4" (banty), 5’, 5.5’, 6’, 6.5,’ and 7' lengths.  Cut and ferruled 2 piece models are available.  These are great specialty rods (there is even a saltwater version) and each comes with a matching rod bag and my black ABS capped tube.
