Custom Fly Rod Crafters WYSIWYG Inserts

Happy New Year!

Introducing Custom Fly Rod Crafters' new exotic 'WYSIWYG' reel seat inserts.

Our 'WYSIWYG' Inserts (What You See Is What You Get) are the exact piece of exotic wood that you will receive.

We have provided a 360 degree view for each piece by taking 6 individual photos and creating an small animation.

Here is an example of our exotic Spalted Maple wood insert for Lemke LC16 Slide Band Reel Seat

This insert fits the Lemke Concepts LC16 slide band reel seat.

No more guessing on what the 'backside' of the cool insert looks like and nor more surprises when you receive your fabulous exotic insert that you saw on someone's website and it turns out to be something less than fabulous.

Epic Reel Seats

Epic Reel Seats from Swift Fly Fishing

Although these seats have been available for a while, we feel that they have not received the attention they deserve. These reel seats are some of the best quality heavy duty seats being made today. They are precision made from tough aircraft grade aluminum and have a super hard anodizing available in either black or silver finishes. The reel seat has a unique triangle design with a self locating hood so you don't have to contort your head to find the reel foot cut-out. The locking nut has a very easy grip machined design that makes it also very easy to tighten onto the reel foot.

The Epic seats are perfect for medium to heavy trout rods and even the lighter switch rods.

Inside diameter: .515

Each seat has the 'Epic' logo; price: $51.95

Cork & Handle Kits

Cork & Handle Kits

These cork/handle kits make the decision of which parts go with each other much easier for the novice rod builder. The grip is matched to the reel seat hardware and comes the appropriate recess for the uplocking reel seat.

Custom Fly Rod Crafters offer two choices in the freshwater kits and two choices in the saltwater versions. The freshwater kits come with a western style grip and has several sizes of winding checks to complete the transition from cork to blank. The saltwater kits come with full wells grips, saltwater safe reel seats and a cork fighting butt, also with several winding checks.

Premium freshwater handle kit

Nickel chrome reel seat w/wood insert

Premium saltwater handle kit

All metal saltwater-safe reel seat w/fighting butt

These cork/handle kits come un-assembled. Prices start at $25.95.

The Accel Blabnk from Sage: VXP on Steroids

The New 'Accel' series from Sage

Utilizing the same basic design tapers of the Z_Axis and VXP; Sage has incorporated the new Generation 5, Konnetic technology. Very light and responsive this new blank is what I call 'The VXP on Steriods'. Most of the new rods debuted at the Fly Tackle Dealer Show focused on the standard "Faster is Better" axiom; pleasantly surprised is this new 'tweaked' straight progressive design. Casting these rods gave me the impression that will work at all ranges and with a variety of tackle rigs, from dry flies to heavy double nymphing. Build one of these new blanks and you won't be disappointed.

The Accel is a medium-fast action blank and will be priced at about the $300 range. The blank color is Emerald Green just like the city where Oz lives.
