For Elite Competition-Level Anglers

We worked with veteran Euro Nymph guru Pete Erickson, 2018 fly fishing world champion Norm Maktima, and expert Mariusz Wrobewski to create a rod that is dialed-in to perform at the sports highest levels.

20% Lighter than the Shadow II Series

By using the most advanced high modulus graphite available to us, we were able to achieve the lightest rod we have ever produced. When you need to feel every nuance happening under the water, having the lightest, most sensitive rod you possibly can is the difference between 1st and 10th place.

Our Most Advanced Rods to Date

Simply put: This is the most challenging project we have ever completed in our life as a rod company. Neither us nor our experts in the field would be satisfied without a rod that balanced a level of sensitivity not before thought possible while keeping its ability to achieve effective hook sets.

Action vs Power Comparison

Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a stiffer feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger sweet spot for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rods action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.

Power:
A rods power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are beefier through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.
