Beautiful fish and rod ! Is it built on an Epic blank ?

Hello Vlad,

No, this is one of my own blanks from Unstructured Fiberglass series. Epic is a different company.

Oh ok ! The rod looks great. I never fished fiberglass but I started to think about building a rod on a fiberglass blank. Is there any possibility to buy one of your blanks? A 2-3wt blank would do the job in my case.

Vlad,

I don't have a 2/3wt. I have just few blanks left and they are 4 and 5wts. Bear in mind that glass is different than graphite and makes much more flexible rod. Personally I would never go below 3wt in glass, because you will end up with a rod with limiting capabilities. Unless you want a specialized rod for calm days and small fish. In any case, you will have fun. Best regards!

I was thinking about a 3wt glassfibre rod to fish the small creek in the area with the dry fly. Thank you !
