TFO Bluewater SG Series The Bluewater SG Fly Rod is designed to quickly deliver large flies accurately and to then sustain the significant lifting force necessary to fight and land large pelagic species when fishing offshore. The foundation of the SG Series is a hybrid blank engineered with a carbon fiber upper section and a proprietary S-Glass weave in the lower section of the rod. The carbon fiber upper section underpins the efficient casting action and tip recovery necessary for fast, on-target casts; and after hookup, the S-Glass lower section delivers superb strength and a shortened lever capable of dead lifting over 10 pounds at a 90-degree fighting angle. The Bluewater series helped the rod designer, Jake Jordan, land over 1,000 billfish on fly and, in the process, it has become the most widely used bluewater fly rod in the world. TFO has kept the same basic and proven actions with carbon fiber tips for ease of casting that blends into S Glass butts for powerful lifting. Axiom II single filament S Glass applications were added within the walls of the blank – a pattern that controls and smooths ovaling better than the old TiCr process. Actions are smoother and power range is greater. You’ll appreciate the difference!
