EPIC FLY RODS SITH LIGHTSABER IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAVE DONE A ROD COLLAB GIVE-AWAY WITH NEW ZEALAND ROD GURUS, EPIC BUT, EVERY TIME WE DO, IT RESULTS IN SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. THERE WAS THE RASTA-INSPIRED ‘DA RIDDIM STICK’ WHICH, LAST WE HEARD, WAS DOING DUTY SOMEWHERE ON SOUTH ISLAND; THE MOTIVATIONAL CARROT, WHICH LANDED UP GOING ON A CROSSCOUNTRY NATIVE TROUT TOUR OF THE USA AND THEN THERE WAS THE BLACK MAMBA, WHICH IS NOW OWNED BY KRUGER PARK LEGEND DANIE PIENAAR, ONE OF FEW PEOPLE TO SURVIVE AN ADULT BLACK MAMBA BITE. THAT ROD PROVED SO POPULAR, EPIC ADDED IT TO THEIR RANGE. MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BLACKS SUPPORTERS BUT, FOR THIS ROD, THE EPIC TEAM TURNED TO THE DARK SIDE AND DEVELOPED THE INCREDIBLE EPIC SITH LIGHTSABER. WE SPOKE TO TREVOR BOURNE, EPIC’S ROD BUILDER EXTRAORDINAIRE, ABOUT THE ROD, THE FORCE AND EVIL IN GENERAL. 76
