Anybody have the Epic 370 Fastglass 2? What do you think of it?

I’ve got an Epic 476 Fastglass 2. It’s one of my very favorite rods - unbelievably sweet and deadly accurate and graceful. But it’s less of a micro-creek rod than I expected. It’s not as good in super-close, even compared to some of my graphite 8’6” rods. It’s got a surprising amount of power for its size, and it’s more of a small/medium river rod, for me, than a backcountry blue line rod.

I noticed that the Epic site classes the 476 as “medium fast” and the 370 as “slow”.

Hi!

Are you only interested in personal experiences with the 370 fastglass II, or are you looking for input on an ideal blue line rod?

If the latter, a little bit of info on what region you are in, how small a "small creek" is to you, target species, fly type and size etc. would potentially help folks recommend rods or blanks (buying a studio built epic rod is a hefty budget for fiberglass, there are many options inside that price envelope).

Unfortunately, Ive never cast any of the epic rods. Sorry I cant be of more help there!

I have the Epic 370 that I built from their kit. I love it. It is sweet casting and works well in close or even out to 35-40’. Great flex and has handled browns up to 16”. Smaller 8-10” fish still feel great and provide great action. Currently running a WF 4wt on it because that’s what I had. Balanced out with a Pflueger 1492. I really like it. Unfortunately I don’t have an good pics of it. Kinda forget when I start fishing
