• Long Description*

The Heddon Folsum taper bamboo fly rod blank combines vintage design with modern performance. Its unique 0.064"-0.296" graduated taper features a strategically reinforced mid-section (30-50") to achieve perfect balance between Medium Light power and 4wt line compatibility. The ultrathin tip (0.064"-0.089" at 0-25") delivers unmatched sensitivity for detecting subtle takes, while the progressive mid-to-butt taper provides stable loading for precise 8-22ft presentations.

Crafted from six-strip Tokin Bamboo treated with 72-hour gradient carbonization, this blank achieves 1.24g/cm³ density with 37% improved flex resilience. The 18% nickel silver ferrules are mirror-polished to reduce insertion friction by 22%, paired with optional water-based varnish finish.

Optimized for technical scenarios like overgrown brooks and shallow riffles, it excels in presenting dry flies, nymphs, and small streamers to wary trout and smallmouth bass. Compatible with 4wt WF floating or DT sinking lines, this blank is a master of stealthy approaches in confined fishing environments.
