Would you believe when I started T.F.M. that the Fiberglass Fly Rod Makers page had maybe a dozen builders listed? Check it now if you haven’t and it’s nearly ten times that number now.
Ben is celebrating this milestone with the release of three handpicked fly rod tapers in 3-weight, 4-weight, and 5-weight with a limited run of each. He is starting this series with five 3-weight builds built on a 7′ three-piece McFarland Rod Company Spruce Creek blank.
This series is going to be something special and this first look at the 3-weight confirms it.
Ben wrote… “After months of planning and work, I’m excited to introduce the first rods in the Flat Creek Rods 15th Anniversary Series. The 3-weight release begins the celebration, with the 4-weight and 5-weight models scheduled to roll out later this week and next.
7’ 3 Weight, 3 Piece Glass
To honor that beginning, the first anniversary rods use Mike’s evolved Spruce Creek taper: smooth, balanced, and full flexing. An ideal small stream rod, it handles dries and dry/dropper rigs with ease.
Features include a lemon yellow blank, Snake Brand guides, Joe Arguello agate stripper, translucent and red silk wraps, 6” flor cigar grip, shop turned mesquite insert, and Lemke LC7 down locking hardware (NOS). One rod will have a Lemke LC14 slide band set (NOS) with a cork insert. Includes custom rod sock and tube. Limited to five rods and priced at $775 shipped.”
