This Iconoglass fly rod blank is from North Fork Composites by Gary Loomis. This is not your father's fiberglass. They use S2/Zentron fibers at a high modulus that is between normal fiberglass and graphite. What this means is that the rod has an easy, moderate-fast action with fast tip recovery. It is also lighter than most fiberglass on the market. It is an absolute joy to fish to distances of about 60 feet. Let's face it. Who really needs to cast beyond that very often?
The aqua colored blank is wrapped with light & dark blue with pearl colored accents. The reel seat has nickel silver hardware with a pearl finish over the aqua blank. The grip is premium cork. The stripping guide is blue agate set in nickel silver. The rod comes with a neoprene rod sock and dark blue carbon fiber rod case with gold top and bottom. Bring some color and joy into your fishing!
