Overview

A Euro nymph angler gets a four piece, fast action rod built for line feel and control in a ten foot, three weight configuration. The handle is EVA with a fighting butt.

Line feel and control are the stated aims, with a light, fast blank for both casual and competition use. The material is listed as natural, which tells little, and the warranty line says contact manufacturer.

Who it's for

Euro nymph anglers from casual to competitive who fish for trout. Anglers who want a shorter rod, or a package with a reel included, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast action blank
  • Four pieces for travel
  • Light and versatile
  • Fighting butt grip
Cons
  • Weight options in title
  • No reel or line included
  • Warranty says contact manufacturer

Performance notes

A fast action blank flexes mainly in the upper section, which gives quick recovery and sensitivity to line movement for nymphing. Light weight reduces fatigue over a long session with a long rod.
