Description

7'6” 4wt 3pc Swift EPIC Fiberglass Fly rod. Built and finished by Shane Gray of Graywolf Products and Services. The rod blanks were donated by Swift Fly Fishing, reel seat donated by Lemke concepts. 


Wine dyed down lock slide band reel seat, with nickle hardware. Flor grade slim modified cigar cork grip. Chrome Snake Brand guides. Clear silk wraps tipping in wine color silk. Rod comes complete with rod bag and rod tube.


From Shane Gray: "Every grip is made from gluing flor grade cork rings together and turning them on my lathe, I have several grip options to choose from. I wrap in silk, the brands are YLI, Clover, Tire and Pearsalls. I only use snake guides, made by Snake Brand I will never use single foot guides.  The Agates stripping guides are made by Joe Arguello. The other stripping guide option is classic orignal Mildrum brand with carbide rings and nickle silver frame.

I exclusively build with Lemke Concepts reel seats and hardware. There is no other brand to choose from. The rods are wrapped on the orignal hand rod wrapper I bought when I decided I wanted to build rods and are still wrapped by hand. The wraps are finished in spar varnish."
