SAGE X Blanks Have Arrived!

The new SAGE X blanks are in stock at Custom Fly Rod Crafters.

Sage X Blank "Command The Water"
KonneticHD, Fast action.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. (June 15, 2016)-Renowned fly rod manufacturer Sage presents its newest pinnacle fly rod series - The X Rod.
Using KonnecticHD Technology®, these fast-action fly rods create tighter loops to ensure better accuracy, efficiency, and line control with every cast.

“By optimizing our graphite-to-resin ratio, we’ve created a higher density (HD) fiber composite resulting in lighter, stronger blanks to deliver
unmatched recovery, energy transfer, and line/loop control,” said Sage chief rod designer Jerry Siem.

The new taper delivers greater blank recovery and a crisper tip-top, allowing anglers to dig deeper into the rod and access more of the lower sections
of the blank, shifting power closer to the angler. Decreased lateral and medial movement and vibrations in the blank also result in more accurate
and efficient presentations refining the synergy between angler, rod, line, and fly.



Tighter loops. It's what we all strive for. A tight loop is accurate, efficient, easily controlled, and a way to command the water in front of you.



Features:
  • All water type fly rod
  • Fast action
  • KonneticHDTechnology
  • Black Spruce shaft color
  • 4pc blank configuration
Each Sage X blank comes with an Aluminum Rod Tube and a Sage Custom
Embroidered rod bag. The tube is labeled with a Sage factory decal.

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".
