The FRC series of fly rods are manufactured from special high modulus graphite. This technologically advanced graphite is combined with a smooth, progressive taper to produce fly rods that presents even the smallest flies delicately, and protects the tiniest leaders, without sacrificing performance, accuracy or distance. The dark sapphire-blue blanks are finished with high quality brier-wood reel seats and single foot snake guides to produce a rod that's powerful, light, beautiful and smooth casting. The FRC series of rods are perfect for anglers who use long leaders and delicate flies to fish small streams and spring creeks for grayling and wary trout.
