CTS Affinity Euro X Fly Rods
10’6″ 2 and 3 weights
Based on the hugely successful Affinity X, the Euro X carbon fly rod blank has the same power and authority of the Affinity X in the lower half, with a slightly mellower mid area and extremely light, sensitive tip area.
Diamondback Ideal Nymph Fly Rods
The Ideal Nymph range is a series of tactical nymphing rods that has been thoughtfully designed in every possible aspect to be the most effective and pleasant feeling nymphing tools. The rods have a non-glare matte finish, downlocking dark nickel color hardware with high density premium quality cork grips, your choice of my premium wood spacers and compact fighting butts. Rod accents are your choice – or I can add my touch. Guide selection and placement on nymphing rods is critical to performance, and Ideal Nymph rods have the right components in the right places. Guide placement is optimized with a stripping guide on the butt section to minimize potential line sag. Ideal Nymph blanks are designed to maximize recovery speed and feel, while still flexing enough to load with mono rigs and lightweight nymphs. All Ideal Nymph rods have a firm backbone that allows for a quick hookset and great fish retention, while having the smooth power transition that allows anglers to apply firm pressure to fish without fear of breaking light tippets.
Pictured rod is one built for a customer and a sample of my work. I maintain a variety of options for the wood insert for the reel seat and will present options at time of purchase. Cork grip options will be presented as well.
Rods come with the highest quality Wasatch FlyFishing tube (colors will vary) and rod sock.
