Who inspired you to pick up a fly rod?  Chances are it was a parent, your “favorite” uncle or a close friend that helped you throw your first tailing loop with great pride.   You probably landed your first fish on a hand-me-down rod with a missing guide and a doctored tip.  If it’s time for you to pass your knowledge onto others, Temple Fork Outfitters has the perfect rod to hand down; introducing the Bug Launcher series of fly rods.

Bug Launchers include thinner diameter compressed cork grips for a better fit in smaller hands.  The yellow Bug Launcher logo stands out against a candy apple red blank.  Speaking of blanks, this series is made from general graphite so there’s less risk when that passing dragonfly happens to take a swipe.  An extended reel seat allows smaller anglers to use two hands for more control.  Two models, a 7’ 4/5 weight and an 8’ 5/6 weight, both are 2 piece.
