    The fiberglass movement has been gaining popularity in contemporary fly fishing… a revival of sorts.

Glass allows the angler to slow down, fish more delicately, and be more in tune with short presentations on smaller creeks.

This new Epic Fastglass II 7′ 6″ 4wt Fly Rod combines everything we love about Fiberglass with modern innovation and impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Read on to find out what the rod does well and why we’re big fans of Epic’s short-range glass series.
