I wanted to hold off writing a review until I had the chance to put the 590c through its paces. I had never built a rod before and was therefore a complete novice. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable and components of the highest quality. The instructions were really easy to follow and my rod turned out great. The 590c has a beautiful action. Fast enough to use with weighted flies yet very delicate and accurate in close. It is everything I had hoped for. For me I’d like a hook keeper on the rod and may well put one on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the 590c or Epic kits to anyone and will probably build another rod soon. Cheers
Sent a review preiously and am awaiting an answer from Adam Adam with regards to my build! Kind Regards & Happy New Year!, Cheers, Stephen
The very Best blank and the very Best professional
This kit is great. Great materials and good instructions. I was able to follow along and get the rod put together and it turned out great. This was my first rod building project and it turned out perfectly.
Having built an Epic 480 fastglass rod last winter, from a ready to wrap kit, & fished it all summer, I fell in love with it. Therefore the first thing that I thought of when my 9' 5wt rod broke at a ferrule this year (other than 'Now I have the skills to make a quick repair.') was, 'An Epic 590C would surely be a big upgrade & I'd get to experience the fun of rod building again.' I'd been after an upgrade to that rod (my most used) for a while anyway & having looked at other premium options, I just trusted that I'd like the Epic most. The blank looks beautiful & the parts top notch. I can't wait to get cracking with the build & then get out to cast it & catch some fish with it.

No reaming, no drilling, no sanding. Too Easy.
Building a great custom fly rod is no mean feat, selecting the correct matching components can be an intimidating exercise alone. Then there’s those wraps, the cork and glue...
Our Epic Ready to Wrap Rod Kit makes life easy - we’ve done much of the hard work for you. The kit contains all the components, glues, rod finish and instructions you’ll need to build your own unique custom Epic fly rod.
The components in our Epic Ready to Wrap Rod Kit have all been specifically designed to work together. Each cork grip is ported to receive our Epic reel seats perfectly. Easily assembled step by step.
In addition to the industry leading technology used in each of our blanks, Epic carbon fibre fly rod blanks feature our proprietary ground ferrule system. Each male ferrule is hand ground to perfectly fit the female section of the blank. Female sections are all internally reinforced.
Benefits of our ground ferrule system:
The 590C blank weighs an astoundingly light 36 grams (1.2oz) 10% lighter than our previous model and lighter than equivalent blanks by Scott or Sage.
Our use of Silica nano-resin makes for a very tough, lightweight and extremely responsive blank.
Epic C (Carbon) series fly rod blanks are high performance fishing tools. The lockup point develops in the top third of the blank, and although recovery rates are fast, the Epic C series would best be described as Mid Flex (Orvis) or Medium fast (Sage). They are light without sacrificing strength (lighter than the equivalent Sage one).
