Drake 8' 5wt. fiberglass blank

Regular price $82.00

Unit price per 

The Drake is a 8' 5wt. fiberglass blank that features a smooth progressive action and quick tip recovery.  The Drake features tip over ferrules, a nice compact 4 piece design, and a medium brown finish.  The Drake is made from continuous filament E-glass.  I have been fishing the Drake with a DT 5wt. line with dry flies and it loads beautifully.  You can also overline the rod with a 6wt. for heavier streamer fishing.  The tippet protection is outstanding and the rod loads smooth and even.  

All fiberglass blanks ship with a rod sock, stent, and spec. Labels.  You can order a hand selected guide set to the right. 

For additional custom options such as a custom label or alignment dots, please visit our custom "add on" page.  You can find it here:
