Drake 8' 5wt. fiberglass blank
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.
