We\\u2019ve had a lot of requests to do a podcast on fiberglass fly rods, but I wanted to wait until the Orvis rods were in stock before I did one. \\xa0The Orvis Superfine Touch Fiberglass are now in stock and on our web site, so this week I cover the basics of fiberglass rods: \\xa0A little history, some brief technology notes, and why you might want to at least test cast a fiberglass rod to see what all the fuss is about. \\xa0They are not like the glass rods you remember from the 60s or 70s!
