GIVE THE GIFT OF GLASS

I'm always a little conflicted as the holidays approach with how much sale content that I want to share on The Fiberglass Manifesto.  As if your email inbox isn't overwhelming enough, then you come here for more.  There will be "selectively" a few posts highlighting a few gear and apparel favorites over the next week or so but what I do think is important to pass along the various promotions in fiberglass since that is the mission and focus of the website.

Giving the gift of glass, even if it's to yourself, is a stellar idea this holiday season.

I am going to keep this post pinned to the top of the page at least through the first week of December since I have a feeling that there will be additions along the way with various promotions and this will be easy reference if you saw something that you liked.

Of course, if you have any questions and want to hash out anything fiberglass fly rod related, I'm easy to connect with a DM on Instagram or an email to thefiberglassmanifesto@gmail.com.

You can spend your gift giving money a lot of places but it likely is felt a lot more with a purchase with a small shop fly rod builder or gear maker over a big box store.  

Let's get started and certainly circle back every so often for updates.  I'll keep this post refreshed with new promotions for the next couple of weeks.

C. BARCLAY FLY ROD CO. 
While Chris isn't running a holiday promotion per se, he does have a select few of his builds listed on discount in his online Store.  I am really keen on Chris's tapers and don't talk enough about his small stream magic wands.  You look back at previous posts HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

EPIC FLY RODS

I need to talk to Carl McNeil on what he has planned for the holidays but even if it's nothing, if someone on your list needs a 6-weight, 8-weight, Bandit, or even a 12-weight, the Epic choices are always at or near the top of my list.  And, the trout weights are all so good, too.  

I've said it over and over but everyone needs a Bandit in their lives.  The El Tiburon post from ten years ago is a great reminder why...

GRAYWOLF RODS

I'm not sure when it ends, but Shane Gray has a Black Friday 25% Off Sale going on site wide.  Discounts are already plugged in on everything already.   

When that ends, we announced it the other day an ongoing 15% off everything on the Graywolf Rods website when you use TFM15.  This code is good through the end of the year.  

I've said it already (over and over) but don't sleep on the UL and BFS Rods.  A not so secret guilty pleasure and easily a top gift contender for a kid or adult.  Guaranteed smiles.

FISH ON! CUSTOM FLY RODS 

I traded text messages with Joey Moll and while he's still mulling over holiday discount plans, he's fully, fully, fully stocked with a lot of neat fiberglass fly rods blanks and components on the rod building pages of his website.  And, if someone has been very good this year, he has a stash of Kabuto Rods (including a sex bamboo fly rod) that are worth a look.  

JP ROSS FLY RODS & COMPANY
JP and I traded text messages this week and he assured me that some holiday sales are coming on his five different series of fiberglass fly rods (with a sixth coming soon...) but in the meantime, use code BFCM20 for an extra 20% off everything on the Cabin Clean-Out Sale page.  There are all sorts of great stocking stuffers, gear bags, art, and more

 

MOONLIT FLY FISHING

I already tipped you off that the Lunar S2 Glass and Nirvana PhoenixGLASS are both back in stock with a post last week.  The Lunar S2 Glass 6-weight (with mini fighting butt) is on my Christmas list... 

Now through November 30th, use code BLACKFRIDAY2025 for 20% off everything on the website.

When that discount code cycles off, you can always get 15% off everything using this LINK.

 

RED TRUCK FLY FISHING

I'll check with James Park to see if he wants to up the discount but TFM10 will give you 10% off your online order.   The Diesel Glass Fly Rods continue to be a favorite and don't sleep on the fly reels.

 

STEFFEN BROTHERS
You'll likely see a separate post at some point tipping you off that this website is now powered by Shopify and the discount code TFM15 works here too for 15% off your purchase.  

All the fiberglass blanks are in stock and I'll never not tell you that the 8' 3/4 weight should be in your quiver.  If you need an excuse to place an order, Christmas is as good as any.

Alright, this will get us started.  I'm sure there will be more to add here over the next week or two.
