  Parabolic Specials are 2-piece fly rods with one tip and a parabolic taper that arcs deeply into the butt section. This long even bend makes a smooth and powerful casting rod. All rods have a cigar cork grip and mortised cherry burl spacer, cinnamon-brown wraps, and nickel silver fixtures. Every rod comes with custom rod sock sewn by Jennifer. The rod tube is a brown aluminum rod tube with brass cap and bottom.
We recommend Scientific Anglers DT lines (Ultra 4 & Trout) for all our fly rods.


The Parabolic Special 76
7'6" • # 5 • Two Piece • One Tip
The Parabolic Special 76, with its delicate taper, built by Carl Anderberg is the European equivalent to the Perfectionist—one of the most renowned fly rods in the world. The Perfectionist was built by legendary U.S. rod builder Paul H.Young.

“The Perfectionist is a superb seven-and-a-half-foot, two-and-five-eight-ounce rod Young designed for general fishing with relatively fine tippets, its slender tip calibrations taking a four sixty-fourths of an inch tip guide. It has become the favorite rod of the celebrated Charles Fox in recent years, ever since he spent an evening with a Perfectionist of mine along Letort Spring Run. The Perfectionist takes a DT 4 in perfect equilibrium and is one of the finest fly-rod tapers ever designed in bamboo.” — Trout, by Ernest Schwiebert

Short to Medium-long range, the reel seat features a mortised spacer with a flared end; uplocking, straight knurled nickel-silver slide band, and nickel silver end plate. Cinnamon brown wraps. A real treasure!
Rod tube – 47"

The Parabolic Special 80
8' • # 6 • Two Piece • One Tip
An excellent rod for large flies, heavy nymphs, or streamers, the Parabolic 80 beautifully compliments the Parabolic 76. Together these rods will assist you in most any fishing situation. The Parabolic 80 dances over large waters, and punches into the wind. The reel seat is a Catskill HLL style, which has a downlocking nickel-silver straight-knurled slide band, butt cap and cork check (also known as the Leonard style reel seat). Rod Tube –50"
