When I started The Fiberglass Manifesto (going on 14 years ago now) there was maybe a dozen fiberglass fly rod builders, blank makers, and fly rod companies listed on what has been called the Fiberglass Fly Rod Makers list. Oh how the times have changed.
Yesterday afternoon I did a little housekeeping and cleaned off a few links that ended up at dead ends and then added a few new links to up and coming fly rod builders. There's something like 110+ links listed on the page and I'm always looking for new ones to add.
What these builders and companies represent is a growing and continued interest in fiberglass as a medium for which fly rods (conventional rods too...) are being made and I am stoked to see that.
A word on vetting these websites is that I make every effort to make sure these are companies, even if they just operate off Instagram or Facebook, do good work and follow through with orders. However, I do recommend that you your own homework and make smart decisions when it comes to sending deposits or payments to protect yourself.
