RODS

Keep It Single

We give a rating for the carbon that is used in each of our graphite rods. The higher the number the higher the modulus of the carbon that is used for the rod. The rating is closely related to the tonnage of the carbon in each of the rods. However this is not the whole truth as we use different carbon mixtures to achieve the wanted rod action and also the resins differ from model to model. But this rating is an indication of the main carbon used in the blank. Our premium rods use graphene in the resin and rods are identified by the Graphene logo.

Xo Graphene

The next level of XO fly rods. We wanted to bring out the new generation of XO rods only if we could make significant improvements on the materials. Graphene made this possible. 3 years of testing prototypes and actions lead to the launch of XO Graphene fly rods. With this new material available and with it being the strongest tested material in the world it required a lot of testing and tuning of action. When one of these rods is cast for the first time the difference is noticeble right away. Graphene makes it possible to make stronger rods with less material which results actionwise in unbelievable strength combined with smooth action.

The long #3 weight rods are made especially for Euro nymphing. They feature a down-locking reel seat for better balance, tight spacing of small single leg guides to prevent line sagging for perfect drag free drifts and our tangle free tip with the top guide being double leg snake guide. These 2 models are designed together with some of the best competition anglers in the world.

The 9’ #5 has a slightly softer action compared with the other XO Graphene rods. The action can still be described as medium fast but in the softer spectrum.

- Medium fast action

- Unsanded & unpainted blank for the best action

- Graphene is the strongest tested material in the world

- Novel reel seat design

- Up-locking precision machined aluminium reel seat on #5-#7

Onki

Onki consists of 13 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 destinations. The quality of high-modulus Korean graphite (40 tn) is something you normally find only in more expensive rods and it enabled us to create a very light and sensitive rod. The rest of the components are also of great quality. For example the handles have narrow rubber/cork reinforcements to make them more durable. With these rods your money is truly well spent.

- Medium fast action

- Light and sensitive

- High-modulus Korean graphite (40tn)

- Green olive blanks with graphite grey markings

Stillmaniac

Extremely fast action especially made for stillwater fishing. These rods were designed together with our competition anglers and will excel with our Stillmaniac fly line range.

The 9’9’’ #6 is a fast rod but a touch more sensitive than the 10’ #7. This smallest Stillmaniac is made especially for fishing closer to the surface with different intermediate lines or even the floater.

The 9’9” #7 is a true do-it-all Stillwater rod. Action wise it is similar to the 9’9’ #6 which means it bends just a tad bit lower in the blank compared to the ultra-fast 10’ #7.

Both the 10’ #7 and #8 are extremely fast and powerful rods. These ten footers are made with long casts and deeper sinking lines in mind.

- Fast action

- Slate blue blanks with orange markings

- Novel reel seat design

- Small half wells with a fighting butt

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.
