The experience in dealing with Swift is as exceptional as the product itself. This was my first time in building a rod myself and a recent love of glass saw me bite the bullet. I really loved the communication and updates from Swift during the purchase. What really blew me away was the quality of the blank, components and instructions. I was surprised at how easy the build was, particularly if you took time to read the instructions and enjoy the process. The rod really is fantastic at punching big flies designed for Murray Cod. Thanks again and I'm sure I will build more rods from your stable
Just got back from Belize, using this rod. The rod turned out great. It takes a bit to get used to casting with the slightly slower speed rod in the heavy wind out on the flats, but catching those powerful fish on this rod is more than fun. Rod casts well and can put a lot of power on the fish. Excellent product for my second FastGlass!
I just built the rod and have not used it yet, but as always the quality of the components is superb! I love your rods and the ones I have built before have been excellent when fishing
Je vais utiliser ma bandit pour la premiere fois, la semaine prochaine chez, Norbert renaud, je vous donnerai mes impressions lors de ce voyage
I was tried out the Swift Epic Bandit “ready to wrap kit”. The concept behind Swift Flyfishing Company and the Epic rods is absolute great with a big focus of performance and customer satisfaction. The ordering was very simple and the shipping was transparent due to continually information by Swift. I like that! The kit content was really great! Just with very good components like e.g. APLS Titanium Stripper guides, Reel seat (I think it`s an ALPS as well) Rod Dancer glue kit and high grade cork grip. No additional efforts in terms of drilling the grip or rework at the guides. All components was fitted very well and it was really easy to assembly it together. The delivered silk 212 from was very good to create the wonderful looking “ghost wraps”. In this case I fluxed the high quality Rod Dancer treatmaster a bit with acetone for better wrap impregnating to get an absolute crystal clear picture for the first step. The second step was without acetone and the ghost wraps was top! Finally let me say: Great concept with an high demand in terms of performance and design (as I`ve mentioned before ;-)) Now I`ll go fishing / testing the rod on the water…
