The Epic 376 is the lightest in the Epic fiberglass series. This is one of the most versatile 3wt fiberglass rods on the market. It's even one of the nicest 3wts on the market, counting all materials. The light weight combined with the thin diameter of the blank gives this rod a crisp action with a very fast recovery and a medium fast flex curve. It has a firm butt and a soft tip that will protect light leaders and still be able to fight decent fish. This rod was appointed with my own reel seat and hardware in cross cut Bocote and nickel silver. Mildrum style stripping guide in tungsten and light wire chrome guides, all wrapped in Pearsall Java silk. This rod is available through Alternative Tackle in the UK.

BACKGROUND

I was born in 1973 in Hammarö, Sweden. I have my studio in Stockholm, where I have been building fly rods for five years. I work full time as an architect and have a family with a wife and two daughters. I do this for fun, even though it certainly inspires me in my job as an architect and designer.

I January 2013 I was honored with a membership as a Journeyman Rod Builder in the newly formed Rodsmith's Guild. I will do my very best to live up to the standards of this exclusive guild, and represent myself and Sweden in the future with new and beautiful fly rods.

BLANKS AND APPOINTMENTS

My rods are built in a minimalistic and sparse style with great attention to details. In every rod I build, I try to challenge myself and raise the level of the craftsmanship. Every blank deserves to be treated in its own unique way, with its own appointments and unique hardware. I mix standard products with custom made hardware to achieve this. My goal is to develop my style in every rod I build.

I represent Tom Morgan Rodsmiths and Epic Swift Flyfishing as their representative builder. I'm also open to build on other blanks, and have great contacts among shop blank manufacturers all over the world.
