Graywolf Rods - King Of The Epic 686

There is a lot of Graywolf Rods and Swift Fly Fishing talk around here and for good reason.  Shane Gray puts a lot of thought and talent into each of his fly rod builds and the Epic blanks are some of the greatest contemporary glass blanks being rolled right now.

Something that has surfaced just recently is that Shane has built more Epic 686 fly rods than any other custom builder by a long shot.  Shane is built over 60 Epic 686's and the amazing thing is that no two builds are exactly the same.  He brings something different with each build. 


Shane's a man of few words and let's his over sized tell the story but did provide this quote for the post...

"I like to build anything EPIC.  I love the company and the quality of the product.  It's also a big plus that Carl and Jeanie are outstanding at customer service."














The great thing is that Shane's never done and there's always a steady stream of Epic 686 blanks in the rod shop ready to be wrapped up.


Check out the Graywolf Rods website for more information and follow along on Facebook for the latest shop news.

  1. I find myself drooling over Shane's work daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. His stuff really is second to none. Having built a 686 for myself, I can agree completely that their blanks a dream to work with.
