A.Jensen Nordic Fly Rods - Medium Fast Action

The very well balanced NORDIC flyrods are perfect rods for the intermediate fly fisherman/caster. The medium fast action gives you good line control, but still with plenty of power for long casting.

Even though this is not the most expensive rod in the A.Jensen range they have not skimped on fittings. For the handle they use top quality AAA grade Portuguese corkand shooting guides are from the best in the business at present time - American Tackle.

When you take the price into consideration, the NORDIC rods are exceptional good value for money.

Hardy Marksman Single Hand Fly Rods

When we fish, the demands we place on little more than a couple of ounces of carbon fibre are considerable, we expect featherlight touch and feel in close, backbone enough to drive a long, fast and accurate loop but with the durability to fight and land that fish of the day, season or even a lifetime. The new Hardy Marksman has been designed, developed and tested with this incredibly varied challenge in mind. A strong, yet considerably lighter blank has been matched with an all new reel seat that further accentuates the weight reduction and promotes an almost weightless in hand feel. Fitted with titanium guides and dressed in a subtle non-flash golden olive, its understated looks hide a capability that needs to be experienced.

FEATURES
• Sintrix multi modulus carbon fibre blank
• Optimum blend of performance and true "Fishability"
• Hard chrome single foot guides
• Ceramic lined stripping guides
• Custom designed lightweight reel seat

Hardy Ultralite Fly Rods

Hardy Performance Rods
The Hardy Ultralite range of fly rods features SINTRIX NSX. SINTRIX NSX is based on our industry changing SINTRIX technology but now combined with a secondary classified additive that allows much lower prepreg weights to be achieved. This lighter weight material allows targeted modification of the blank design without affecting the blank's strength. The net result is lighter, more responsive blanks that allow the angler to "feel" the line more during the casting stroke giving a greater degree of control than ever before. The reel seat on the Ultralite is a masterpiece of form and function—moving more of the rod's weight percentage behind the hand gives incredible in-hand balance, single start threads resist the reel loosening under heavy use and a keyed body further ensure a snug fit for your reel.
FEATURES
• SINTRIX NSX our highest-grade refinement of the industry
• changing SINTRIX material
• Ceramic lined titanium recoil guides
• Reel seat laser engraved with line size

Vision Onki Rods for Stillwater Flyfishing

Visions new full-scale rod series Onki (rod&line in Finnish) consists of 11 carefully created medium-fast rod models to cover most of the situations anglers face when fishing for normal freshwater species on creeks, rivers and on various stillwater/reservoir destinations. Based on Visions long history with true classics like the 3Zone and the Nite/Nite Catapult, these four piece Korean made high quality rods have green olive blanks with graphite grey screen markings. The quality of high-modulus Korean graphite (40 tn) is something you normally find only in more expensive rods and it enabled them to create a very light and sensitive rod. The rest of the components are of great quality as well. For example the handles have narrow rubber/cork reinforcements to make them more durable. With these rods your money is truly well spent.

• Light and sensitive.

Marryat Tactical LX Fly Rods

The original TACTICAL rods we developed from the Furtive Rod blanks created by master rod builder Alain Ourtilani using innovative materials researched by the Institute of Technology Lausanne, REC components and the profound fishing know-how of world champions Pascal Cognard and Jérôme Brosutti.
Each TACTICAL rod length / line weight has its own personality offering optimum performance so it was natural to continue development of blanks that would increase speed and accuracy.
The truth is that each individual fly fisherman has his or her own style and casting ability so, answering the call for a complimentary range of faster and slightly more responsive rods for short and medium distances added new long and short rods to the classics. Matt finish blanks, alignment dots and a slick reel seat were also requests delivered by the introduction of the TACTICAL LX Series Most recent addition to this range is the 10 foot 6-weight – a soon to be classic that’s equally at home on the wide spate rivers of Scotland and Norway as it is on the open waters and loughs, lochs, lakes and reservoirs on Ireland and the Home Nations.
