Bobber Down

Over the last six months I have started building high quality Float Rods using CTS Blanks.  It started out using the blanks CTS sells.  A range between thirteen and fifteen feet.

These blanks are wonderful for larger rivers and larger fish like King Salmon and Steelhead.  What FlySpoke has added are three distinctive eleven foot blanks to be used as Micro to Ultra Micro Trout Float Rods.

Because float fishing requires a flip of weight and bobber, it is important that the tip section of the rod be able to bend and flip a float.  Also the tip section needs to be able to play larger fish on light tippets.

We created three blanks for this purpose.  All are eleven feet.  Because they were derived from fly blanks lets talk in  those terms.  In addition to being float blanks they make incredible Euro nymphing rods.  They are also included in our CTS Affinity X collections.  The base is three, four and five weight with the tip section reduced by one weight.  So they become 5/4, 4/3 and 3/2.
