Winter is the perfect time for rod building and George Minculete of Tightloop Fly Rods has spent the past couple weeks building and then putting the finishing touches on the Swift Fly Fishing Epic 580 build that will become part of the T.F.M. Fly Rod Loan Program very soon.
George wrote... "The T.F.M. Swift Epic 580 was fitted to be a true "workhorse" of a five weight. It features Snake Brand Universal snake guides, chestnut silk wraps, a Lemke black anodized reel seat and walnut wood spacer. Grip is a flor grade half wells hand turned in the shop.
I'm looking forward to seeing and building more of these beauties in the future!"
