Glass for Christmas? Tell Me About It...

 Did Santa leave a fiberglass fly rod underneath or beside the Christmas tree for you?  If so, what did you get?  Or do you wish that he had and now you have some money to spend? 

I am always happy to offer considerations and ideas.  I'm also good at matching fly reels and fly lines with whatever fly rod you're figuring out too.  Just send an email to get the conversation started.
 

When I do get emails, these are the questions that I always ask...
  • What length and line weight are you looking for?
  • What type of taper (full flexing, progressive, etc.)?
  • What do you expect to do with this fly rod the most?
  • How many pieces?
  • What is your budget?
  • Custom built or factory built?
  • When do you need it?
If you're doing the research on your own, here are a couple of links with a long list of fly rod builders and companies offering fiberglass and then some best practices to follow with the buyer's guide.
