Presenting the finest two-handed Spey rod Studio Built™ Custom - Our premium fly rod offering. The pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance. Each Epic two-handed Spey rod is a custom-tuned, advanced, lightweight, and highly responsive two-handed fly rod. Titanium stripping guides, the best cork in the industry, Japanese silk wraps, CNC machined reel seat with self-locating hood, alignment dots and a handwritten inscription - this is a two-handed fly rod like no other. 3 Weights. One length. 6 Pieces. After talking to expert Spey casters around the world a 13ft two-hander was clearly the most versatile and useful length for most two-handed casters. A standardized length across our range also makes line selection a comparatively easy task.

Feedback from travelling anglers told us that conventional 4 piece rods were too long to travel with, we took that on board and produce all our two-handers in a convenient 6 piece configuration. These big rods will easily fit in your luggage alongside a single-handed fly rod. Our unique ground ferrule system means actions are precise and indistinguishable from a standard 4 piece rod.

Each type is placed at various parts of the blank to optimize strength and weight. Ultra-high modulus fibre boasts the highest tensile and compressive strength of any fibre in its class. Internal High Strength Ferrule.A high strength internal ferrule is placed at each join to provide superior crush and split resistance.  Target Zero Fibre Alignment.Fibre alignment along the length of any blank is critical. Even the smallest deviation in fibre alignment from the axis of load will greatly reduce the strength of the blank.  Experience the Epic® difference Industry-leading fly rod blank specifically chosen & high graded for your fly rod build Premium quality stripping guides (Titanium, or hard chrome depending on model) SureFit™ Ferrule System for immediate section replacement Stealthy and chip-resistant SnakeBelly™ Finish Stunning FLOR grade cork grip Alignment dots for easy assembly Personalised inscription  Laser engraved winding check proving authenticity & ownership  Hard anodised reel seat ensuring a lifetime of service Painstakingly handcrafted in our Wanaka workshop ensuring quality and durability Superior service and ongoing customer support  Proudly handcrafted to order for you in New Zealand Delivered direct to your doorOnce ordered it usually takes around five weeks to build your new fly rod, then we deliver priority tracked and insured courier direct to your door.
