Yomogi UD-Glass Blank 7'11" 5wt 4pc
The Yomogi UD-Glass fly rod blank embodies the soul of traditional Japanese glass rod craftsmanship with a distinctly slow, full-flex action that loads deep into the butt section. This 7'11" 5-weight 4-piece blank is designed for anglers who appreciate the tactile connection and presentation finesse that only true glass can deliver.
Casting Characteristics
This blank features a progressive, parabolic taper that flexes throughout its entire length, creating a smooth, continuous loading curve from tip to grip. The slow action allows you to feel every inch of the rod working during the cast, providing exceptional timing feedback and loop control. You'll experience a deliberate, rhythmic casting stroke that rewards patience and proper technique—ideal for delicate presentations at close to medium range.
The full-flex design excels at protecting light tippets and absorbing the head shakes of spirited fish. During the fight, the rod loads progressively, distributing stress evenly and creating a cushioning effect that keeps constant pressure on the fish while minimizing the risk of break-offs.
On the Water
This blank shines in small stream and spring creek environments where accuracy and gentle presentation trump distance. The slower action naturally dampens casting loops, allowing dry flies and nymphs to land softly with minimal disturbance. It's particularly well-suited for short-line nymphing, dry fly work, and any situation where feel and finesse matter more than raw power.
