Overview
A nymphing-specific fly rod available in 2, 3 or 4 weight and 10 or 11 foot lengths, built on a carbon fiber blank with an AAA cork handle. Ceramic-insert stripping guides and a machined aluminum reel seat round out the build, with a rod tube included.
This rod is purpose-built for nymphing rather than general fly casting, with a slim taper meant to protect fine tippets and small nymphs while still handling heavier anchor flies. The reel seat has an up-locking double-ring design with a burled wood spacer, a detail aimed at anglers who care about finish as well as function.
- Available in 2, 3 or 4 weight
- 10 foot or 11 foot lengths
- Carbon fiber blank with AAA cork handle
- Machined aluminum up-locking reel seat
Who it's for
Fly anglers who specifically nymph fish, wanting a light, sensitive rod for fine tippets rather than an all-purpose casting rod. Less suited to anglers who mainly dry-fly cast or need a single do-everything rod.
Pros and cons
- Slim taper built for fine-tippet nymphing
- AAA cork handle for extended comfort
- Ceramic-insert stripping guides
- Includes rod tube
- Nymphing-specific taper, not a general casting rod
Performance notes
The moderate-fast blank and slim taper are designed to load with light nymph rigs while still having enough backbone to turn over heavier anchor flies. Ceramic-insert stripping guides and hard chromed snake guides are meant to reduce line friction on longer casts, and the AAA cork handle is shaped for extended holding comfort.
