In general the rods have a sensitive and protective tip that is very stable and crisp, with a smooth progressive curve further down the blank with a powerful butt section. The action is easy to cast, forgiving and produce accurate casts at high line speed. The rods have great line feel and you will easily connect to the rod to all types of casts. Summed up these are top modern rods with light feel and an action that suits anglers at all levels.
- Rod type: single hand
- Tube length: 80 cm
- The #5 are typical all-around trout rods for dries, nymphs and lighter streamers
- Matte, lightly buffed blanks with no added colouration which gives them a dark graphite grey appearance. Any possible, excessive carbon waste particles are collected in separate tanks before water is passed on to community cleaning facilities. The blanks have a soft spiral pattern and thin, matte coating
- Improved full well grips of 3A cork without rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy resins needed in the grips
- Metal parts of reel seats are “clear anodized” which is the least toxic process possible when using aluminum reel seats
- For the coatings on blank, guides and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, they use a bio-based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better working atmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odours to a minimum.
- Rods are mounted with light wire single leg guides and KW style stripper guides. They use a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame. Best sustainable choice, still hard and with no chrome plating, which contains lead
- Rod bag and rod tube cover are made of recycled REPREVE™ polyester
- The rod tubes are made of recyclable polypropylene (PP), they are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user. Given its durability and the possibility to melt and reform into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods.
