Adirondack Blue Line

The action of the Blue Line is a mix between medium and medium fast. The blanks are now only available in 2, 4 and 5 piece rods. The 4 piece blanks are in my opinion the fastest and most crisp of all the blanks in this series. The 5 piece blanks are very smooth and are only about an ounce heavier than a 2 piece blank. The 2 piece blanks are all true medium action blanks until you get to the 7 weight range and they begin to stiffen up slightly.

I recommend the Blue Line for freshwater fly-fishing. I also recommend the 7 weights and larger for big game freshwater fishing. The lower modulus blank yields a little more durable blank.  For the money, we feel the Blue Line offers our customer the best value and the best savings considering its attributes.  The Blue Line has always been a great seller for us.

Our most popular Blue line is our 8 foot 5 weights and 6 weights.  They sell for only $249.95.  For more info on these rods, please click here.

We also recently have added our Beer Cap Butt Cap to our Blue Line series.  A cool feature that also provided function.  For you spey fisherman and switch rod anglers, we have teamed up with Blue Heron in Calgary Canada to design a special swicth rod.  Click here for details on our Switch Rod.

Jordan,
 
     The rods we received from you were exquisite!  They were crafted precisely to our specifications.  Besides being beautiful, the Blue Line rods perform nicely too.  The actions are exactly as stated on your website.  Overall we are very impressed with the rods.  The whole process of having custom rods built through JP Ross has been a positive experience to say the least.  We will definitely be purchasing rods from you in the future!   Anyone wanting a unique, custom built fly rod, tailored to one's exact wishes and needs, versus buying a factory made rod, should contact JP Ross and start the ball rolling!  Thanks so much and we'll be in touch.

This series is a work horse, medium to medium fast action. It has a thicker butt section, lower modulus graphite which makes it very durable and very fun to fish. I love these rods for bass and pike. The 7 and 8 weights are good for light weight Saltwater fishing, but are not my recommendation for Bonefish and Redfish. The 9 weights and 10 weights are great for Salmon. We are close to the Salmon River in Pulaski NY and we have seen many rods get destroyed for one reason or another. But of all our rods, this rod blank has survived more than any other. The 7 foot 6 inch 4 weight is my favorite rod in this line. It packs small and has a very smooth medium action for a 4 piece short rod.
