Superb XPG Fly Rod
Specialty fly rods of the highest caliber from the well-known Czech company Hanák It is suitable for both river and stillwater fly fishing from the bank or from a belly-boat, and it offers competition in a variety of categories and lengths! Highest quality components, ultralight blank, and original workmanship! The new Superb XPG graphene rods are here! A brand-new line of four-piece rods that are incredibly powerful, soft, and light. Graphene+ was used to improve the successor to the well-liked XP series. Currently the most potent of all Hanák Competition rods, it uses the ground-breaking Graphene+ to provide extra performance and a quick action. The top competitive fly fishermen created, tested, and fine-tuned these rods over time. The weight of these rods has been reduced by about 30% (up to 30 g) in comparison to conventional rods because of the use of the most advanced technologies and materials, including HI-CARBON in a unique combination with graphene fibers of the highest class and the use of extra light super quality components. Strong and incredibly thin anti-tangle SIC guidebooks. USA-made titanium RECOIL Titanflex guides are incredibly flexible and long-lasting. Unique black custom reel seat connection with exotic wood insert. The best AAAA cork available. These rods have a dark gray, unpainted, and uncut blank. The uncut surface reduces theend leaders' tendency to stick to therod, particularly in therain, and theeffectiveness of the of the blank is maximized.The last 2 snake guides before the end are Recoil guides, which reduce the tangling of fine end leaders around the tip during casting. Type 4106, 596 and 5100 are equipped with a small fighting butt support made of hardened cork. Each rod is supplied in a luxury pentagon tube with a separate compartment for each part.

Sense Nymph Fly Rod
SAGE SENSE Fly Rod The SENSE is designed specifically for the European Style Nymphing angler, with a rod that combines Euro Nymphing specific action, optimized components, and stealthy cosmetics to make the perfect tool for those looking to get the most out of their tight line techniques.Equipped with Generation 5 Technology blank, the action of the SENSE starts with a soft tip for increased effectiveness in working precise nymph rigs and protecting fine tippets, giving greater control of these lighter fishing elements than standard fast action / multi-application rods. Once engaged, the tip absorbs shock and prevents “bounce” that might otherwise break off such fine tippets. Moving down the blank, the soft tip gives way to a stout butt section allowing anglers to fight and control fish with quick hooksets and minimal recoil, keeping the line tight throughout the entire fight, with plenty of backbone to muscle the mightiest of trout to the net. DETAILS Generation 5 Technology Stealth Grey blank color Black primary thread wraps Lightweight Fuji stripper guide optimally positioned for tight line nymphing Hard chromed snake guides and tip-top Snub nosed half-wells cork handle Matte Black anodized aluminum down-locking reel seat Rugged black nylon rod tube with divided liner APPLICATIONS Ranging in models from the traditional 3100-4, the versatile 3106-4, to the big rig 4100-4, the SENSE offers specialized treatment for dialed execution. Single foot guides allow for a lighter more sensitive package, while optimally positioned stripper guide keeps line tighter to the hand and blank, preventing unnecessary snagging and increased control. Performance personified for the technical game of tight line fly fishing.

Built on a monofilament core that creates a stiff, slick line for quick feeding and less line sag between the rod guides, and an ultra-thin diameter to maximize sensitivity, and for lightning-fast hook sets. In addition, the core extends past the front end of the line to become a leader—resulting in no knots to get caught in the guides. The level line can be cut to length (from the back), allowing anglers to tune the line to the perfect length. The leader is .013" in diameter, pink to be easily seen, and is level, so can also be cut and tuned for varying situations.Lines: #2-5 Line Size Line Color Sink Rate Coating Length Leader Length Coating Diameter Leader Diameter Core Strength #2-#5 Yellow Float 80ft (24.4m) 14ft (4.3m) 0.023in (0.58mm) 0.013in (0.33mm) 18lb (8.2kg)

The result is a ge-neration of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance. ;Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader.

Tippet Rings (Pitzenbauer Ringerl)
These small, extremely strong rings were made public by the famous fly fisherman Edgar Pitzenbauer and used in the grayling fishing. Meanwhile, these rings have spread all over the world among fly fishermen. They are tied to the end of your leader (conical, braided or linear) and allow you again and again to re-tie your leader at the end, without shortening the length of the leader. The individual rings are rounded inside and out and are therefore very smooth. These rings have no solder joint. Thus, a "break point" was prevented and the surface remains very smooth. The rings are extremely light and durable. Also suitable for floating leaders. Especially modern Nymph fishermen use these rings in an enormously wide range of applications. By using it, you will ultimately save money, as your leaders will only have to shorten their fly changes in the front leader material. In addition, the field of application is very diverse. You can use these rings to tie in Springer flies or pike felts, or even use them when drop shot fishing. Recommendation: we strongly advise you to use the rings when using Fluorocarbon leaders / leader material in combination with regular nylon, as this material is apt to cut through the surface hardness of other types of nylon. With a leader ring that does not happen anymore. Even with the use of polyleaders / Versileaders the use of the leader rings is recommended because it no longer shortens the polyleader and the life can be increased enormously. NEW: With practical hand strap!!
