An amazingly colored CTS blank, and more amazing build outcome. Special all the way, this rod not only pops but casts buttery smooth. I would not call it x-fast action as CTS claims but more of a buttery medium fast to fast action. Nobody makes fast action rods like Sage does but it's interesting to see something else. Always perfecting fly rods! Thanks for looking & Happy New Year!

An interesting build finished just recently for a gentleman in the UK. The rod features a shorter cigar grip for the italian style of casting, not my first choice on a blank like this, but it's really light and responsive for a nine foot five weight. Red-orange classic wraps with a twist of yellow here an there. Really a great rod design with modern technology from Gary Loomis's new rod company. The rod feels fast and responsive but bends really deep. All custom laser engraved aluminum black anodized rod tube. Happy New year everyone!
Here's a recently finished rod in a minimalist, clean style. Clean cork reel seat and modified snub-nose flor grade cork grip. The graphene Epic 480G is ultralight yet strong and powerful. All black reel seat hardware and standard chrome guides for an elegant contrast with the satin grey blank, beautiful aqua silk wraps with some red accents here and there. Custom all black signature tube with laser engraving for that special rod. One-of-a-kind Epic! This rod was commisioned and could deliver more in spring if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking!
A collab between Tomo at Ijuin Rods and Nico at Yamame fly rods. This is a buttery smooth, progressive taper and a nice soft tip for soft presentations. Classy downlocking Snake Brand reel seat with a zebrano wood insert, Struble fire agate and a top flor mini snub-nose handle. The color combo is fire on this one and truly special, minimalist build! Thanks for looking!
