flybum 95 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 Here's a great article about glass rods. I love mine and have since purchased another one. Great stuff!http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/flytalk/2014/02/why-your-first-lightweight-fly-rod-should-be-fiberglass?src=SOC&dom=fb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 My next fly rod will be a glass rod. Need a nice light rod for those backcountry brookie trips. The Redington butterstick looks like a sweet option as well as the Orvis. Hmm... Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are curious about glass AT ALL, I highly suggest the eagle claw feather light to start with. Through thefiberglassmanifesto.com you can get them shipped to Rydens for 40$, and they rock! I have 2 glass rods if you ever want to mess around with them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mud trout Report post Posted February 18, 2014 I had a couple of fiberglass rods. One was a Fenwick Ferelite from the seventies and the other was a home made job i bought off of eBay. I suspect it was an Eagle claw blank, but I'm not sure. I rally liked the slower pace that these rods require. Great for small streams. A brookie of any decent size would put a bend right through the blank, you could fight larger fish right down through the butt section of the rod. I then discovered cane rods and sold my fiberglass rods. But there were lots of fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
