Enthusiast Carbon Fly Rod - Build Your Own

High Performance Meets Individuality | Handbuilt in Idaho

The Enthusiast Fly Rod is where high performance meets true customization. Handcrafted by Cole Hoffman in Saint Anthony, Idaho, this series is designed for anglers who want lightweight feel, fast recovery, and premium aesthetics—without paying inflated big-brand prices.

Built on a high-modulus, fast-action carbon blank, the Enthusiast is light, responsive, and exceptionally versatile. These rods actively compete with offerings priced significantly higher from other brands—while looking even better on the water.
