Overview
An ultralight 4-piece fly rod built on a 30T IM12 carbon fiber blank, offered in three length and line-weight combinations from about 7.5 to 8.5 feet, aimed at small stream and creek fly fishing.
This is a freshwater ultralight fly rod aimed at small streams and precision presentations, not a general-purpose or saltwater rod. The medium-fast action and per-length weight, 2.30 to 2.85 ounces depending on model, point to a rod built for delicate dry fly and light nymph work rather than distance casting.
- Three lengths from about 7.5 to 8.5 feet, matched to line weights 2 through 4
- 30T IM12 carbon fiber blank, medium-fast action
- Portuguese cork grip with burl wood reel seat
- 4-piece rod with extra tip and Cordura tube
Who it's for
Fits fly anglers fishing small creeks and streams who want a light, packable 4-piece rod with a spare tip section for accidental breaks. Not the choice for anglers needing a heavier rod for big water, wind, or larger fish.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Ultralight build across three length and line-weight options
- Comes with an extra tip section for breaks
- 4-piece design with Cordura travel tube
- Titanium stripping guide plus chrome-plated guides
- No reviews on file yet to confirm real-world casting feel
- Built specifically for ultralight small stream work, not versatile across water types
Performance notes
The 30T IM12 carbon blank with cross-compiling X-cross construction is built for horizontal strength and crack resistance while staying light, and the medium-fast action is meant to give responsive recovery for precise casts. US Pac Bay chrome guides plus a titanium stripping guide are intended to reduce line friction, and the cork grip with burl wood reel seat rounds out a rod meant to break down to 4 pieces for travel, backed by an extra tip section and a Cordura tube.
