rods
I always wanted to fish with the highest quality rods available. However, I could never afford the high modulus, fast action fly rods made by the major rod companies. Four to Five Hundred Dollars is beyond my reach. When I discovered the benefits of fishing with rods built on blemished G. Loomis blanks, I was elated. I wanted to share these benefits with others, hence Blue Ridge Rods was born to bring high performance, superbly crafted rods to anglers at reasonable prices. Rods built on these blanks perform like they were built on first quality blanks.

Unfortunately, few of these blanks are available. I have several 7 1/2' 3 and 4 wts, and a few longer, heavier blanks left. Look at the Accelerator and Blue Ridge Series rods for a comparable rod built on a first quality blank. Blue Ridge, Smoky Mountain and Accelerator series
