Renaissance Fly Rods

Fiberglass Fly Rods

Our fiberglass builds are a blend of new technology with the look of a bygone era.  With all the great blank makers out there, finding a blank should be a pleasure.  If you are looking for a fiberglass rod with a traditional appearance, you have come to the right place.  Classic looking fiberglass rods are a passion with Renaissance Rods.  As with the fiberglass rods of yesteryear our rods have "the look", open spiral wraps with classic twist thread or traditional colors.  If you can dream it, we can make that dream a reality. 


Steffen Brothers 8’, 3 piece 4/5 weight

Beautiful blank made by Mark Steffen.   Wrapped the guides in an orange / black classic twist with two turn metallic gold trim wraps.  Used spiral wraps on the amber agate stripper and ring & saddle hook keeper.  Amboyna burl uplocking reel seat.   Handle is a custom turned cigar shaped handle to fit the flow of the rod.  Wraps are finished off in several coats of Spar varnish for a low profile finish.
