North Fork Composites, the brand behind the logo

North Fork Composites was founded by Gary Loomis, a major name in carbon rod and blank design in the United States. Rod builders know the brand for its blanks covering spinning, casting, fly and saltwater fishing. Wearing the NFC logo shows your attachment to that school of rod making. The Gary Loomis signature on the side points directly to the man whose name is tied to a whole generation of rods.

On the water and at the bench

The trucker cut is a classic among anglers: the peak shades your eyes from the sun and cuts glare while you watch your rod tip or fly line. Black stays low-key and pairs easily with technical fishing clothing. At around 90 g, you will quickly forget you are wearing it during a long lure fishing session or a day at the building bench. It is also a fitting gift for a rod builder who already works with NFC blanks.
