Nine and ten weights? YES PLEASE.

Unstructured Fiberglass series continues with these new "Old Empire" red blanks... This is the first 7'6" 3wt build, with more orders in the works...

That rod looks amazing. That's my favorite rod of the ones you've posted.

As far as the bigger rods, I would love a 8/9wt in 9'6". Seems like it would be a nice do everything kind of rod.

Glass Enthusiast, thanks for the comments.

Christian, thank you. Hope your enjoying the summer! I've been too busy fishing, but once the season is over I will be working on more rods.

Very nice I like your style to. For wading in bigger rivers fishing for sea run browns or salmon I prefer a 7-8wt in
9-9.6" length. For heavier weights and longer rods a two handed rod is probably better.

Two Unstructured Fiberglass 7'6" 3wt 4pc Fly Rods are available for immediate delivery. These are my last two builds for 2014, both in translucent dark red E-glass. The "Old Empire" taper is slightly more semi-para than progressive...makes a great summertime (or wintertime midge) spring creek rod.

Extremely pretty.

Always easy to look at your work. Very pleasing to the eye and your craftsmanship, attention to detail, and artistic sensibility are apparent in your builds.

These are no exception. They're gorgeous! Please forgive me, but I have to ask what you mean by rods from an "old English library?"

Vlad,
Well done. The refined, yet rustic style and sporting traditions you envision are realized in your rod builds. You've really captured that look and feel. Kudos!

Rertoglass Fly Rods

Unstructured Fiberglass Fly Rod Series is at the end of its production, and you can still place an order for limited 4wt and 5wt models. This was a limited series of builds in total, with less than 30 completed rods in existence. In case you'd like to order a rod, this is my current blank availability (prices for 4 and 5wts will remain the same, $525 for finished rod):

7'6" 3wt 4pc "The Old Empire" red glass - 0
8'0" 4wt 4pc Progressive green glass - 2
8'3" 5wt 4pc Progressive + blonde glass - 1
8'6" 8/9wt 4pc "Conquistador" green glass - 0

I will be taking a hiatus from rod building and won't be offering new blanks this year.



Thanks,
Vlad

Roger,

I sincerely thank you and all the others who have purchased rods from me!

Best regards and tight lines,

Vlad
