JP Ross Fly Rods - "Blue Steel" Epic

Jordan Ross of JP Ross Fly Rods is the latest to be added to the Swift Fly Fishing "Epic Rod Builder" list and this 990 build, dubbed "Blue Steel", is a fine example of the many things that a custom builder can do over what can be found on the rack of a fly shop.

I have been very impressed with the Epic 990 and it can handle steelhead, musky, and I've been told tarpon too without fail.











Check out the JP Ross Fly Rods website for more photographs and background on this build and others.

It is a beautiful build. JP builds 'em sweet!

I wish that Epic would make a line of Spey/Switch blanks. My poor shoulders aren't liking 8 weights and up so much any more.

That's so awesome, with the Zoolander print on the fighting butt!
