CTS FISHING - 20 Years of Quartz Celebration

Years ago when I was deep diving into fiberglass fly rods, there were only (and kinda still are) a handful of shops that were rolling blanks, not only for themselves but for small shop builders too. 

One of these companies was CTS Fishing in New Zealand and along with rolling blanks for quite a few builders you were certainly know the name of, they were innovating their own tapers in glass as well. 

In 2003, CTS Fishing launched their fiberglass blanks and they are celebrating "20 Years of Quartz" with 20% off blanks purchased through April 30th. 
 

There is a neat timeline on the "History of Quartz" on the CTS Fishing that is worth a look.  Woven E-Glass to unidirectional E-Glass.  Then on to S-Glass and the many improvements to their blanks since then.  This is a good reminder that I still want to get my hands on a Quartz Turbo Taper 1089 10-weight...

I have several CTS Fishing rolled fiberglass fly rods and the quality speaks for itself.  Add to that, their offerings far exceed the abilities of many other shops right now with single and double-hand glass blanks that can be painted in a rainbow of colors.

Jump over to the CTS Fishing website to check out the lineup and use code "QUARTZ20" for 20% off through April 30th.
