Choose the model that fits your fishing style
Grayling 9'0" / #4 is a pleasant and versatile model for lighter river fly fishing, ideal for grayling, trout and everyday use on smaller to medium rivers. Its 9-foot length offers a very practical balance of accuracy, control and all-round usability when fishing with dry flies, lighter nymphs and smaller wet flies.
Nymph 10'0" / #4 is a more technique-oriented model designed for anglers who want better drift control, improved contact with the flies and more sensitivity when nymphing. The longer blank helps with line control, strike detection and reaching fish without needing to move unnecessarily close to the holding lie.
