NT11 fly rods are the result of taking advantage of the very latest and most sophisticated SOA (State of Art) graphite materials used in the aerospace industry today.
When applied to and used in flyrods, some remarkable benefits are achieved. The most evident effect being an amazing recovery power and crispness in the blanks, created by combining the incredible armoring and strength increasing effects of T1100G graphite with layers of the highest modulus graphite we’ve ever used in any flyrods to date. For you as an angler, the above properties are built into a series of rods that have the lowest blank weight, yet the highest break strain of any other rod in our line up and probably also on the entire flyrod market.
You’ll find these rods to be easy to operate with their full flex medium/fast action and tips that are rigid but still sensitive enough to make them lively and fun to cast without having to focus on perfect casting stroke timing all the time. They load deeper and generate increasing amounts of power and line speed when you ask for it. While still maintaining impressive lifting power for sinking lines, this deeper, yet fast type of action will work for a wide range of casts, lines and casting styles. After many years of building premium, lightweight and strong 6-piece flyrods and knowing that no sacrifices are made in performance, strength, weight or balance, we find it only natural that this new range of rods also is multi-piece and transportable in your luggage when travelling. We have worked hard and deliberately to keep the value of these rods maximized without sacrificing quality in workmanship or components.
12’9 #7/8 28-31 gr/430-480 grains
The lightest and shortest rod in the double hand range. It’s a pure joy to fish during endless hours on small to medium sized rivers. Often described as rods for summer fishing, this rod shows much more versatility than that. It manages all kinds of lines and easily dredges for early season sea trout that hug bottom in the deeper pools when needed. We have used both standard 3D+/4D rigs and our 3D+/4D Compact lines during the development. 4D bodies in 20 and 22gr weight matched with 12’- or 15’ Tips in 7 and 9 gr weights match beautiful with the rod.
