Swift Fly Fishing Converting Epic 3pc to 4pc

Swift Fly Fishing Converting Epic Fiberglass 3pc Fly Blanks to 4pc

New Zealand based Swift Fly Fishing are now converting their Epic fiberglass fly blanks from 3pc to 4pc models. The 4pc blanks are still super smooth and you won't be able to tell the difference in the cast with the added benefit of being able to put these rods in just about any rod carrying case.

Custom Fly Rod Crafters have received our initial order of 4pc models and are offering 5 different colors; Amber, Nude, Olive, Salsa and So Blue. The lengths and line weights are the same starting at the 7'6" 4wt to the 8'6" 6wt. The 7'6" 3wt will only be available in the Moca color.

The blanks are still made with the Unidirectional S2 fiberglass which is stronger and lighter than the E-Glass or the S-Glass. These are the new 'Fast' glass blanks.

CONVENIENCE; even the 8'6" 4pc in a rod tube only measures out at 28".

Snake Brand Universal Guide Sets

Snake Brand Universal Guide Sets

CFRC is now offering Snake Brand Universal fly rod guides in sets. The sets cover from 7'6" 3wt to 9'0" 6wt and include not only the matching stripping guide but a hook keeper as well. These guide sets take the guesswork out of trying to decide how many and which sizes you need. From years of custom rod building experience, we have put together the appropriate guide spacing and guide sizes. Of course, as always, if you want to substitute any particular size of guide, we are more than happy to accommodate you. After all, it's your custom build and you get to make some decisions after all.

The Snake Brand Universal guide sets are available in either Chrome or Dark Nickel finishes. The stripping guide that we matched is the NCRLC or the NTRLC strippers with nanolite rings. A perfect match for style and color.

As with all our guide sets, there is FREE ground shipping in the USA, saving you $6.95!

New Additions to St. Croix Blanks

New Additions to our St. Croix Blanks

We have expanded our St. Croix Avid (SCIII) and the Imperial (SCIV/SCII) series to include lighter line weights.

The Avid blanks now list 2 and 3wt models in the 4pc. This series of blanks offer an advanced, high modulus/high-strain graphite fiber. The modulus is between SCIV and SCII which produces rods that are super sensitive and lightweight with great durability. A fine choice if you are a serious angler who demands high-performance and value. Blank color is a beautiful Canteen Green Pearl.
Prices start at :$160.00.

In the Imperial line we now include a 2wt in 6'0" length and a 3wt in 6'6" length. These blanks are a dynamic blend of high-modulus/high strain SCIV graphite and premium-quality SCII graphite. Still lightweight, and off a medium-fast action, designed for maximum performance and value. Blank color is a rich gloss burgundy. Prices start at $110.00.
