I was surprised not to see rods – for a casting fanatic like you… Then I found the Epic Fly Rod section\u00a0<\/strong>in construction<\/em> ? what’s it’s all about ? what are THOSE rods ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re playing this one pretty close to our chest as we still have a long way to go. However, our Epic fly rods fit within our design philosophy that gear should not only be highly functional, it should be extremely durable, beautiful to use and to look at. We’re applying the same production values and aesthetic philosophy \u00a0that we use in our film productions like Once in a Blue Moon, Casts that Catch Fish and Itu’s Bones. They all broke new ground. Equipment by Swift will too.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Lunar<\/a>\u00a0fly reel also adheres to this ethos.While we have no intention of trying to compete with the myriad of great rod makers out there, \u00a0I believe that the industry has lost it’s way a little with regard to certain aspects of rod design.<\/p>\n

Lighter, stiffer and faster present little advantage for many of the fishing situations that I see anglers in. At present I suspect we’re driven by the marketing machine and fashion rather than real world fishing situations – and in general, anglers are going along for the ride.<\/p>\n

Epic rods will not be for everyone, and to get the most out of them an angler will need to be a competent fly caster. They are being designed for quite specific trout fishing situations and our intention is not to produce a “great all rounder”<\/p>\n

We’ve also given a huge amount of thought as to how trout anglers actually use a fly reel. It’s function, form and construction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What kind of product you have, really change your fishing ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve looked hard at how me and my friends fish. Two things stood out in the way that they use their gear.<\/p>\n

1\/ They don’t use the fancy drag on their fly reels. Almost without exception they set a light drag, just enough so that to spool does not overrun, then when a fish is caught they palm the reel. \u00a0This gives far greater control than any drag ever can.<\/p>\n

2\/ As you know, Most of our fishing is to sighted fish at quite short distances,\u00a020 -30 ft, most of these fish are quite large. . \u00a0For this type of fishing you need a rod that loads & presents like a 4 weight, but has the stopping power of a 6 weight.<\/p>\n
