The Swift Fly Fishing Company Announces the Release of Epic™ S2 – Fiberglass fly rod blanks.

Epic™ blanks are made in New Zealand from a proprietary unidirectional S2 Fiberglass prepreg. The initial range covers 4 models across 3 translucent colors with additional colors to be released in the new year.

Tapers have been developed over 11 months of testing, measuring, casting – and, well, testing again.

About Swift Fly Fishing Company:

Swift is owned and run by On the Fly Productions (the Film & DVD People that make the fly fishing films like “Once in a Blue Moon”, “Itu’s Bones” and “Casts that Catch Fish”)

Swift was born to take over the stuff that a Film Production company probably shouldn’t be doing – Like developing, manufacturing and distributing funky fly fishing equipment and running a distribution company.

So there you have it. On the Fly makes Fly Fishing media. Swift makes and sells fly fishing equipment.
