The FST 2 from Rodmaker 247 is something else entirely—fast with feel. Designed in Michigan and built with next-gen UNI S glass, this 5-weight delivers a progressive taper that loads intuitively, casts with grace, and finishes with pinpoint control.

This rod pairs a Lemke LCR5 reel seat, Lemke agate stripper, and Lemke winding check. The deep green blank adds a crisp, modern edge while honoring the soul of the glass beneath.

This isn’t just another fast-action rod. It’s a modern refinement—crafted for fly fishers who demand performance without sacrificing soul.
