Description:
This 8ft 3pc bamboo fly rod blank resurrects the iconic Dickerson 801611-D progressive taper, a benchmark for anglers demanding versatility in freshwater environments. The progressive taper creates a harmonious flex curve that loads deeply during casting strokes, providing both delicate dry fly presentations and controlled nymphing capabilities.
Crafted from hand-split Tonkin bamboo using six-strip construction, the blank features 18% nickel silver ferrules polished to 0.02mm tolerance for flawless energy transfer. The default triple-coat varnish provides UV protection and enhances bamboo's natural luster, while an optional unfinished version allows custom finishing techniques.
Optimized for 7wt lines, this blank masters size #16 dry flies with whisper-soft landings and handles #8 weighted nymphs in turbulent currents. Its three-piece design balances packability with structural integrity, making it the perfect foundation for backcountry trout adventures or technical spring creek challenges.
