SPECIAL NOTE regarding EPIC glass rod blanks
Everything is still excellent with EPIC as a whole but I found out yesterday, April 14th, that EPIC will no longer be supplying blanks in the Olive Green color . . . .
The 476's will be Amber & Salsa - The 580's will be Amber ONLY
The 686's will be Amber and Arctic
The EPIC rods I have on the site now in Olive are all I have except for a new 476 Olive
When I order more EPIC blanks in the near future, AMBER will be the only color

This rod was a custom build for a gentleman in Templeton, CA
The rod is a Steffen Brothers 8656 glass in the standard chestnut color. The reel seat is a Lemke original Dk. Nickel plated aluminum seat enhanced with a piece of stabilized Spalted Alder and a 1" fighting butt.
The 7" grip is cork in the Full Wells style. Guides are Dk. Nickel Snake Brand snake guides with a blued nickel silver agate stripping guide by Joe Arguello in the "Banded Coffee" color. This 5/6 wt rod also has a ceramic tip top. Thread wraps are in nylon with epoxy coating. The customer also requested an 18" marker on the rod to quickly gauge the fish length.
