The all new CTS Quartz 580 5wt fly rod blank, featuring our proprietary CTS CrystalGlass™ fibreglass. Able to cast a wide range of flies, from dries to heavier nymphs and smaller streamers, arguably the perfect trout rod for those who like a smoother fly rod.
CrystalGlass™ is our extremely high grade uni-directional S-Glass with amazing clarity. It’s fibreglass like you’ve never seen it before – light, lively and brilliantly flawless.
This super smooth 5wt fly rod blank is the little brother of the Quartz 686. You won’t want to put this one down.
Made in our world-class facility in Auckland New Zealand. Tested by the most discerning anglers in every corner of the world.

Bought the blank and as soon as I wrapped the guides I took it outside and was very pleased by how smooth it casts.

The blank is beautiful and though I haven’t built the rod, yet, I’ve flexed it and I like what I’m feeling.
