Generation 2 Taniwha TSH 793 7'9" #3 4-piece S-helix S-glass fly rod blanks, 3-piece

Available blank only including a good quality black cotton rod sock, or add a discounted rod tube.  Components sold separately.  

TSH blanks are made from uni-directional S-glass, a higher strain and faster recovery fiberglass almost identical in modulus to cane, with a helical wound S-glass scrim for improved hoop strength and faster blank recovery.    

Taniwha S-helix series of fibre glass fly rod tapers are specified to our requirements, refined through several prototype testing stages.  They are made by a designer whose early career included designing high performance fly rods for a well-regarded New Zealand brand before establishing his own advanced composites manufacturing facility based in China.  They offer excellent performance, and first class fit and finish at a very reasonable price for this quality.
