Product Overview
GB Fly Shop's metallic green 8’, 1wt 4-piece ultra-light carbon fiber fly rod blank has to be one of our most amazing blanks, not to mention one of our best sellers. If you love fishing for bluegill or small stream trout, this blank is a must have. It’s fun, it’s light and it’s highly reactive to fish strikes. For such a lightweight blank, it is extremely durable. As a medium action blank, it has the right flex to go the distance. It features a tip over butt ferrule system and comes in its own black rod sock.

5 8’, 1wt, fly rod blank

This is an awesome blank with even better customer service! I messed up and broke my blank (100% my fault) and they took care of me no questions asked. I can’t recommend them enough. I will most definitely continue buying from them in the future.

I've built three of these for myself and friends, hard to find one weight blanks of this quality and it makes a well balanced rod and a great 'creeker".
