Why Our Glass Rods?
An Old Glass Feel with a Modern Twist
Our NEW Lunar Series of S-Glass rods have been designed to have an old glass feel but lighter weight with a bit faster action, we have been able to do this with today’s new age advanced fiberglass materials and the expertise of our rod designer.
Fast Recovering Tip
One thing we don’t like in many glass rods is an overly soft tip that robs your casting energy, and give you arm fatigue. We designed the Lunar rods to have a fast recovering tip that eliminates over oscillation so the rod’s casting energy goes straight into your line without the wobble.
Progressive Taper with Reserved Power
The progressive action allows you to make smooth accurate short to medium casts but it also has a lot of reserved power to bomb the line out there when needed.
Excellent Roll Casts
The Lunar rods with their deep rod flex are also excellent at performing accurate roll casts.
Great Hook Sets
The Lunar S-Glass rods are also stiff enough to give you a great hook set and has enough backbone to fight fish effectively but elastic enough to bend all the way into the handle if needed.
Line Recommendations
Pairing the right line with your rod is just as important as getting the right rod. With that in mind we highly recommend pairing the Lunar S-Glass rods with the , or the . The Moonlit All-Purpose line has a shorter head helping it load the Glass rod more quickly and efficiently. It gives you pin point accuracy, presentation, and perfect roll casts. The NIRVANA Performance Taper is an aggressive taper made to load as quick as possible with a heavier and shorter head. This helps to really shoot line with less false casts. It loads really nicely with these rods.
Bold But Classy
These rods are bold colors like the glass rods people have loved with a nicely done white accent near the handle. The finish and classy wraps are about as good as it gets from a factory produced rod, we paid attention to the details. This is not just a rod that will love to use but a rod that well stand out visually.
Lifetime Warranty
One thing we do differently in the glass world is offer an easy lifetime warranty. Instead of making you ship your rod into us for repairs, for a $45 warranty fee we send the replacement parts right to you, so you are back to fishing faster.

All the feedback has praised these rods for their performance and enjoyment in all the experiences and situations.
We have also taken them to many fly fishing expos and let potential customers and fly fishing experts test them out and received excellent feedback about how they cast and look.
“The old days of heavy, flimsy fiberglass fly rods are a thing of the past with a warm welcome of the new Lunar Glass fly rods by Moonlit Fly Fishing. These new fly rods are a stunning addition to the already fabulous lineup of quality Moonlit Fly Fishing products. The 5wt Lunar Glass fly rod I used is a smooth casting, lightweight fly rod that presented delicate dry flies accurately. It’s distinctive white badging gives it a nice retro effect which reminds the user of its tradition. It has enough power for longer casts yet is more forgiving than faster graphite rods and it can handle large fish just as easily. The action of the Lunar Glass rod is fast for a fiberglass rod but soft enough to protect fine tippets. It’s cast loading/shooting is very predictable which inspires casting confidence. The performance of the 5wt Lunar Glass rod is only matched by its beautiful blue color, which almost glows in the sunlight.”

“I had the opportunity to take the Moonlit Lunar 8wt and 7wt out for a test drive this year late winter. It was a very windy day on the water blowing like crazy making the river run in reverse was single digit temperatures that day. So as you could imagine it was less than favorable conditions but still pursued and proceeded to fish the lunar which impressed me right away was able to launch smaller streamers 2.5″ into head winds 50+ feet without much effort in the unrelenting wind. I was very surprised at how well it threw the line. First fish was a healthy 23” rainbow that had some shoulders and pulled like a train. The rod felt great you could really feel it working for you helping keep the thrashing head under control helping keep that hook set. Went awhile without touching another fish so switched up to a bigger heavier streamer to drop it further down the water column had to fish slow and the fish were not striking like they were earlier it went to a very subtle take, this is where the rod surprised me the most, that very subtle grab I felt just the lightest nic/bump and that rod translated that to my hands very well very sensitive. “
