On the other hand, a rod designed for streamers is longer and throws a heavier line. When you want to throw bigger stuff such as streamers, big nymphs, sofa pillows, and such, the larger setup gets it done. But you lose some delicacy as a result. The streamer special will be a rod for bigger flies and, hopefully, bigger fish. On the other side, a 6'9" Yamame rod is shorter for a lighter line. There is a big gain in delicacy, but you lose the ability to throw a #6 cork popper. The streamer rod and yamame rod can't "do it all", so they are... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (jgestar) http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/sreply/83081 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 22:34:55 PST http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/reply/83066/t/Tom-Morgan-Fiberglass-Blank.html#reply-83066 feeds@kickapps.com (Flickfly) http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/sreply/83066 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:39:56 PST http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/reply/83062/t/Tom-Morgan-Fiberglass-Blank.html#reply-83062 feeds@kickapps.com (16 pmd) http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/sreply/83062 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 19:01:43 PST http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/reply/83046/t/Tom-Morgan-Fiberglass-Blank.html#reply-83046 feeds@kickapps.com (JASTrout) http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/sreply/83046 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:36:09 PST http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/reply/82994/t/Tom-Morgan-Fiberglass-Blank.html#reply-82994

It's not easy to start rolling your own glass blanks.

I'm planning on building at least an 8'3" Streamer Special. Once the blanks are available, there will be much rejoicing around the forum.

The Morgan Rodsmiths blanks have an All Star pedigree. Tom Morgan designed some of the most renowned glass rods to hit the market - the Winston Stalkers. Dr. Tom is building with glass because he feels it's the best material for these rods. The prototypes were evaluated by rod builder Per Brandin (among others). Kerry Burkheimer's shop will roll the rods. Kerry learned rod design and fabrication from the legend Russ Peak.

Yes, there is great anticipation.

I think that the Streamer Special is a good choice. I might even go with the Unity With the Universe blank. When I was selecting a glass rod to fish beads with ToneMike I realized that most of my fiberglass rods... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Arctic Grayling) http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/sreply/77980 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:24:15 PST http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/reply/77887/t/Tom-Morgan-Fiberglass-Blank.html#reply-77887 feeds@kickapps.com (16 pmd) http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/sreply/77887 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:25:09 PST http://fiberglassflyrodders.info/topic/10509/t/Tom-Morgan-Fiberglass-Blank.html
The blank is $295 for a 2 pc 3wt. A finished rod is (GULP) $1495! I'd do the blank and consider having the rest of the work done by someone like Andy at Old Yankee Rod Smithing.

I wish I could afford the rod for Tom Morgan, but that will not happen any time soon.

Thank you.
