Traper Stream Big Fish Fiber Glass # 5 - 8 ft Single Handed Fly Rod
Modern fiberglass rods like the Traper Stream Fiber Glass have long ceased to captivate only the nostalgics among us. They offer the caster a unique feeling that a carbon fiber rod simply cannot deliver. Hence, the distinctive character of such rods continues to inspire new fly anglers daily - and rightly so!
The Stream Fiber Glass rods by Traper are a perfect example of the fusion of tradition and modern rod-building techniques. The blank is made of S-Glass processed with high-quality synthetic resin. The unpolished, raw fiberglass is coated with a thin layer of varnish to keep the weight low and not overly dampen the rod's action. As a result, while the blank flexes deeply, it still snaps back precisely and relatively quickly. This creates the unique, modern glass action that many fans have come to love.
The beautifully visible wave-like fiber structure resembles the rods made decades ago but with contemporary components and processing techniques. Hollow spigot connectors are used to join the rod sections, providing a consistent action without stiffening in the ferrules. The rod handle is made of high-quality Portuguese AAA cork, and its ergonomic shape fits wonderfully in the hand. The reel seat is crafted from polished aluminum using CNC technology and is adorned with an elegant tropical wood spacer. The blank is outfitted with Pacific Bay guides, which, combined with the dark guide wraps, create a great contrast against the golden blank.
The result is a classic rod with a generous dose of modernity. It comes delivered in a Cordura tube, ensuring safe transport. The 5-year service warranty provides the necessary assurance should anything go wrong.
