Too many streams too little time
In the last few years fiberglass fly rods have made a huge come back. The number of folks building custom fiberglass fly rods has exploded as well. You can also buy glass rods from a number of well known vendors and there is a glass rod for every budget from the classic eagle claw glass rod which can be had for about 25 bucks all the way up to custom blanks from Tom Morgan that can go for 700-800 bucks when finished.
They come now in a variety of sights and lengths as well. They also come in some pretty funky colors and tapers. One guy who has had a big influence on the resurgence of glass is Cameron Mortenson. He runs site called The Fiberglass Manifesto. He also has page on facebook. Can,Erin is passionate about fishing with glass and he is a great example of taking a passion and building a huge following and part time business as well. He has made appearances at the Flyfishing show and will be at this years fly tying symposium participating in a casting class as well.
I own about 7 glass rods now including a custom built s glass rod from graywolf rods. I recently acquired the new Orvis glass rod with unsanded blank.
Anyone fishing glass these days. If so what are you using and how do you like it. Below is my s glass rod when I bought it a few years ago
