The Epic 480 is my favorite among the Epic blanks. This particular specimen was flattered with a home made reel seat in stabilized spalted hickory and blued brass, leading over in a 6'' Ritz grip turned from flor grade Portugese cork. Snake Brand Originals and a small, arched Mildrum type stripper wrapped with Persall Java. This rod will be hard to send away to its new owner...
