NYMPHMANIAC

Nymphmaniac rods have been designed together with some of the best competition anglers in Europe including Jarkko Suominen, Cato Monsen, Jan Kubala and David Ferreras. They are designed especially for modern nymph fishing techniques. Nymphmaniac meets the requirements of the most demanding anglers in a reasonable price range. Everything on these rods is built with the intended purpose in mind. These have been designed to be as light and as easy to handle as possible. The blank dampens immediately after the stop when casting which is extremely important to sustain proper contact and a feel for light nymphs. New and modern nymph rods have enough power in the tip so hooking a fish is effortless but at the same time they bend enough when a fish is making sudden movements when fighting. Also fighting a bigger fish is not a problem with the powerful butt section of the rod.

The perfect nymph fishing setup is completed with the Vision Ultra Light Nymph-line.

NEW

MANIAC FAMILY is a series of rods with customised characters and actions. Instead of developing one rod series that includes every different line and length we wanted to create a family where everyone could be themselves. Every brother and sister of the Maniac family has their own character and speciality. The only promise they make is that there is no room for compromises in this family.

Vapa

Vapa, meaning “rod” in Finnish, stands behind its name as it’s a rod for everybody. Easy to cast for beginners with its medium fast action but the more experienced angler shouldn’t be fooled by the price tag. It has performance even for the more demanding angler.

GLASS Trout & Streamer

Glass Trout and Streamer are pure fibre! They have deep bend but same time it offers plenty of power for over long casts. These are not a traditional glass fibre noodle type rods, they really performs well with different type fly lines. You’ll find Trout best in smaller to medium size rivers and it’ll surprise you when rigged with Vibe 65 type short headed line. With that line it’ll turn the big, hairy dries or heavy nymphs over with ease. Vibe 85+ or Bottom Express is the ideal choice for Streamer. When playing a fish they feel like rubber shock absorbers keeping the fish hooked until the picture & release.

Pikemaniac New

The rod for hard core pike anglers. These rods are designed together with Pikemaniac fly lines and together they offer an amazingly powerful tool for casting extra big flies to the horizon. The actions of the rods are a strong medium fast action which suits perfectly for fishing different predatory fish with large flies whether you aim them from the boat, belly boat or the shore. We pushed the limits of what a rod in this price range offers. Better materials like 40 ton carbon, corrosion resistant titanium stripping guides and high quality and high density EVA handles equals more performance.

The rod is also equipped with a fish ruler up to 130cm. The aluminum reel seats have an extra big tightening nut which is extremely easy to tighten so reels are secured properly to the reel seat. The smaller second nut needs only little tightening and it acts as extra security so the reels really stay put. The reel seat also has a laser engraving that reminds us all of the truth. Don’t know what we are talking about? Check it out. Pikemaniac rods are 4-piece and available with EVA handles and cordura travel tubes.

Pike Hero New

Their powerful medium fast action makes casting all size of flies easy and they handle all line types from floating to fast sinking smoothly.

Travelling fishermen will appreciate the four piece construction and protective Cordura tube.

Grand Mama

This Grand Mama rocks and has some serious attitude. It’s a fast action rod series designed for fishing big predatory fish. We added high quality and durable EVA full wells handle and fighting butt because these rods will be used in super harsh conditions on the Baltic sea and big lakes. The titanium stripping guides ensure there will not be any problems with corrosion even in saltwater.

We added a bit of funk to the dark olive blank with the pink details. Anglers can measure even the biggest catches easily as the fish ruler on the blank goes all the way to 130cm. This series of rods is perfect for big flies on big water in big winds.
