If the price is just a little out of your reach for one of the finest fly rods in the World? Build your own!
T. L. Johnson Rod Company is now making their fly rods available in blanks. The cost is half the finished fly rod price. That’s right… You can buy a T. L. Johnson Emerger 2 fly rod ($375 finished) blank for $187.50. Even if you use high end components, you can build it for under $300. The LX, L2X, LL, SL2 and SLP blanks are $342.50 also. Again, finish it yourself for $450 – $500.
Most U.S. rod manufacturers build most of their blanks in the U.S., but their low end models have blanks that are built overseas and then assembled in the U.S. Unlike other manufacturers, Terry Johnson doesn’t put his name on his import line. His Fish Creek fly rods are built overseas to his exacting specifications and are great casting and affordable, but are sold under the Fish Creek brand. If it has the T. L . Johnson name, you know the rods are made entirely in the U.S.A. Terry has his own shop where he builds all the blanks for his T. L. Johnson brand. His patented high-modulus graphite, using exclusive carbon helix uni-directional construction techniques, creates a blank with superior hoop strength as well as improved response. His exclusive ferruling system reduces section to section flat spots, swing weight and has a smoother load transfer. T.L. Johnson’s commitment to the highest quality is apparent in his entire collection.
Treat yourself to possibly the BEST rods Made in the U.S.A.
This is T.L. Johnson country!
