Last of the breed

Written By Pete Emmel

Yep.... this Epic 376, 3 piece, Mocha is a dying breed. Swift fly fishing dropped the 3 piece blanks from their line up. While I understand their business reason it still breaks my heart. I love the three piece blank. There is just something about them that. Maybe it is the bridge between the old school two piece and what I call the new breed four plus pieces.

​I do have one 376 Salsa, 3 piece that I will build out to your specifications. Just let me know quick, because once its gone I don't have anymore stashed away. And no the Mocha isn't for sale at this time.

Build Specs;
​Blank: epic fiberglass 376, Mocha
​Reel seat hardware: Lemke LC1, down-locking, Black Nickel
Insert: Black Ash Burl
Handle: Half-wells
​Agate: Dark banded, Proof Fly Fishing
