Epic Swift Fastglass II 1080 Bandit Fly Rod Blank

A villain on the water - that's El Bandito!

At 8 feet long for a 10#, the Epic Swift Fastglass II Bandit blank is very popular for fishing for pike, carp, snook, baby tarpon and musky in the US and Europe.

The 1080 Bandit is a special tactical blank that makes short work of large fish species in tight situations and is ideal for kayak fishing.

FastGlass II™

The Epic™ Bandit is made from industry-leading Zentron 8-micron unidirectional S-2 glass. This next-generation fiber, specifically engineered for fly rod production, features 8-micron fibers engineered and manufactured in the USA. These fibers are nearly half the diameter of other unidirectional materials, resulting in a tighter, more precise, and stronger material.

SnakeBelly™

Not sanded and not unsanded. Our SnakeBelly™ finish is created using a unique radial production process. SnakeBelly™ offers the toughest exterior finish possible. After production, the blanks are first painted and then clearcoated. This two-step process creates blanks that are incredibly scratch-resistant and highly durable.

Sure Fit Ferule™

Broken tip? We've got you covered. This ferrule system is so precise that parts can be interchanged between models. Gone are the days of having to return a defective part to the manufacturer or retailer where you purchased it. Damage can be repaired by simply sending in the replacement part.
