This 8-foot split cane fly rod has been hollow-planed by hand, reducing its weight by approximately 13 percent while also increasing its speed and responsiveness. The combination of hollow construction and carefully placed brown intermediate wraps gives it a lively and energetic action.
Outfitted with saltwater-resistant snake guides, bright red wraps tipped in brown, and a matching saltwater-resistant reel seat, this rod is both elegant and durable. It has proven itself not only as my trusted partner on the Oostvoornse Meer but also as an effective tool for targeting asp on larger waters.
Designed for a #5 line, the rod casts beautifully with both modern synthetic silk lines and, in tighter situations, a single-hand spey line. As the original taper description notes: in the right hands, this rod is capable of casting a full fly line right down to the backing.
A powerful yet refined fly rod—light in hand, fast in action, and versatile enough to handle diverse waters and techniques.
