The Elevation fly rods are very lightweight with medium fast action and are suitable for all kinds of fly fishermen - from beginners to advanced anglers! A more eco-friendly way is chosen for their production - the use of eco-friendly components, which makes this line revolutionary!
These rods the best choice for those anglers who care about the environment. The new rod blank development process eliminates any unnecessary material in each section. These rods are extremely light and responsive (9’ #5 is 72g / 2,53oz), and yet the strongest standard rods ever created.
In general the rods have a sensitive and protective tip that is very stable and crisp, with a smooth progressive curve further down the blank with a powerful butt section. The action is easy to cast, forgiving and produce accurate casts at high line speed. The rods have great line feel and you will easily connect to the rod to all types of casts. Summed up these are top modern rods with light feel and an action that suits anglers at all levels.
Elevation 9’ #4-5-6: The 4 and 5 wt are typical all-round trout rods for dries, nymphs and lighter streamers. The 6wt is the choice for bigger flies, bigger fish and more windy conditions.
Elevation 9’ #7-8-9: Typical rods for the heavier fishing after migratory trout, pike, salmon, seatrout and bonefish. These rods suit rivers, lakes, coastal and flats fishing where big fish and demeaning conditions are common. Unique balance and weight for rods in this category.
Elevation 9’9” #6-7-8: Rods made for both lake and river fishing after trout, seatrout and salmon. The new length of 9'9ft is the ultimate compromise between 9'6 and 10ft. It gives you the power of the 9'6ft and the reach/distance of the 10ft. Lighter, crisper and better feel than the 10ft.
Elevation 10’ #6-7: Dedicated rods for "stillwater fishing", typical actions for the very popular lake fishing practiced by the British with a varied selection of lines in different densities and several flies on the leader. Please note that the 10’models are fitted with classic double leg snake guides.
- Matte, lightly buffed blanks with no added coloration which gives them a dark graphite grey apperance. The blanks have a soft spiral pattern and thin, matte coating.
- New, improved full wells grips of 3A cork without rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy-resins needed in the grips. Even the lighter rods have a small cork butt, and from 9’ #7 and up there are full size fighting butts on all rods.
- Metal parts of reel seats are “clear anodized” which is the least toxic process possible when using aluminium reel seats. No chrome (lead) or paint is used in the anodizing bath.
- For the coatings on blank, guides and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, it is used a bio-based low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals.
- Rods are mounted with light wire single leg guides and KW style stripper guides. It is used a gun smoke powder coat finish on a stainless frame. Please note that the 10’ models are fitted with classic double leg snake guides.
- Rod bag and rod tube cover are made of recycled REPREVE™ polyester. This is the leading, most trusted, branded performance fibres made from recycled materials (including plastic bottles).
- The rod tubes are made of recycable Polypropylene (PP), they are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money! Given its durability and the possibility to melt and reform into plastic pellets, PP is both reusable and recyclable for producing new goods.
- All rods are 4-piece.
