Description

The Constable Wisp bamboo fly rod blank redefines technical micro-fishing with its meticulously engineered taper. The slender 0.08"-0.14" tip section (0-25") provides exceptional sensitivity for detecting subtle takes, while the progressive thickening to 0.273" beyond 40" delivers backbone to tame spirited 14-18" trout.

Crafted from six-strip Tonkin bamboo through 48-hour heat pressing, this blank ensures uniform fiber alignment. The 18% nickel silver ferrules feature mirror polishing for seamless assembly, while the default water-based varnish enhances natural bamboo aesthetics with moisture protection (unvarnished customization supported).

Ideal for confined mountain streams, its 6ft length excels in executing roll casts and bow-and-arrow presentations under overhanging vegetation. The moderate-fast action generates tight loops for precise 15-25ft deliveries, particularly effective during mayfly hatches in shallow riffles. Pair with 3wt floating lines for optimal performance in panfish-rich coves or technical spring creek scenarios.
